The Juror's Lie

She lied to get on the jury. Now the truth wants out. Years after her sister's murder, clinical psychologist Claire Morgan returns to Santa Fe with a single purpose: make the man she's sure did it pay. Under a false name, she slips through voir dire and onto the jury at Jonah Keller's trial. From the box, the plan seems simple—until the courtroom starts pushing back. Testimony refuses to match her memories. Evidence cuts in unexpected directions. Fellow jurors splinter into factions. And Jonah—calm, unreadable—feels less like a target than a mirror. As pressure builds inside the deliberation room, Claire's certainty erodes. What began as an act of vengeance becomes a razor's edge between justice and obsession. To reach a verdict, she must decide which version of the story she believes—and what she's willing to bury to protect it. Psychological suspense meets legal thriller—a locked-jury drama where motives, memories, and power collide. A tense, character-driven mystery with sharp dialogue, shifting alliances, and a verdict you won't see coming. Atmospheric courtroom & jury-room scenes for fans of claustrophobic, high-stakes storytelling. Read if you love: moral dilemmas, unreliable memory, jury-room warfare, and the line between truth and the story we need to believe. The Juror's Lie is a psychological legal thriller.
