  “We, the Jury has what most legal thrillers lack—total authenticity, which is spellbinding.” —James Patterson

  “Boggs gives voice to all classes of soldier and Sioux, to the desperation of Custer’s command, and the determination of their foe.” —Historical Novels Review

  “Who says the legal thriller is gone? Obviously someone who has not read this little gem. Cleverly told, with a different kind of ticking clock, the drama is tough as nails, the chemistry enticing. It’s both believable and evocative. You must read it.” —Steve Berry, New York Times bestselling author of The Malta Exchange

  “Boggs writes from the heart, almost as if he is channeling each person.” —News-Gazette (Champaign, Illinois)

  “The best legal thriller this year. Rotstein’s insight into the insidious nature of jurors and jury trials blew me away. A masterpiece of voice, character, and points of view. Get it. Buy it. And become part of We, the Jury.” —Robert Dugoni, #1 Amazon, Wall Street Journal, and internationally bestselling author of My Sister’s Grave

  “Most of us are familiar with the Battle of the Little Big Horn…Do we need another retelling? Listeners to Boggs’ version will give a resounding yes. A group of nine narrators inhabits the forty-seven characters, and their memorable performances immerse listeners in compelling first-person accounts from both the army’s and Native Americans’ points of view…The evenhanded examination of what went right and wrong on both sides and the haunting voices that tell their own tales make this engrossing western-set novel an example of historical fiction at its best.” —Booklist (starred audio review)

  “We, the Jury is an exceptional legal thriller that is told from multiple viewpoints during jury deliberations in a major murder case. I found myself changing my opinion on the defendant’s guilt or innocence until the surprise ending.” —Phillip Margolin, New York Times bestselling author of The Third Victim

  “Boggs adds yet another perspective to this famous Old West fight…[and] he carries it off beautifully…The highlight is Boggs’ portrayals of Captain Frederick Benteen and Major Marcus Reno and their surviving cavalrymen…This novel contains no new historical scholarship, but it does effectively paint a grim, gory, and realistic image of Indian warfare, period racism, and the political scapegoating that usually occurs after a military disaster.” —Publishers Weekly

  “A gripping novel, We, the Jury offers an inside look into the judicial system and how each character reacts to a legal situation. Their own personal lifestyles and events cause them to think hard and then think again upon realizing the significance of holding someone’s life in their hands.” —New York Journal of Books

  “Approaches [the Battle of the Little Bighorn] as a mosaic, using some forty-seven points of view, from the famous, such as Crazy Horse and Custer’s wife, Libbie, to such minor characters as an army trumpeter and a brash Indian teen trying to count coup…An almost unbearably intense narrative…this is an enthralling book.” —Booklist (starred review)

  “The reader is given a fly-on-the-wall vantage point of how personal perceptions, biases, and time can inform a decision as serious as a guilty or not-guilty murder verdict…With complex and real-life characters whose psyches Rotstein delves into deeply, We, the Jury is a unique read and not to be missed.” —Mystery Scene magazine

  “From the moment the judge…accidentally gives the jury incorrect instructions, things start taking interesting turns.” —Publishers Weekly

  “These scenes deal with gnarly matters of perception and interpretation, and both can be so manipulated by artful courtroom performers that the truth becomes unknowable…The drama is played out on this abstract level, making it a natural for thoughtful mystery readers who have served on a jury.” —Booklist

  “Rotstein skillfully creates a suspenseful story told from over a dozen points of view from the participants in the murder trial…Readers will be riveted right up to the end. Highly recommended for fans of legal thrillers.” —Library Journal

  “A unique, razor-sharp legal thriller—Robert Rotstein does it again!” —Nancy Allen, author of the Ozarks Mystery Legal Suspense series

  “We, the Jury has what most legal thrillers lack—total authenticity, which is spellbinding.” —James Patterson

  On the day before his twenty-first wedding anniversary, David Sullinger buried an ax in his wife’s skull. Now, eight jurors must retire to the deliberation room and decide whether David committed premeditated murder—or whether he was a battered spouse who killed his wife in self-defense.

  Told from the perspective of over a dozen participants in a murder trial, We, the Jury examines how public perception can mask the ghastliest nightmares. As the jurors stagger toward a verdict, they must sift through contradictory testimony from the Sullingers’ children, who disagree on which parent was Satan; sort out conflicting allegations of severe physical abuse, adultery, and incest; and overcome personal animosities and biases that threaten a fair and just verdict. Ultimately, the central figures in We, the Jury must navigate the blurred boundaries between bias and objectivity, fiction and truth.

  Johnny D. Boggs turns the battlefield itself into a character in this historical retelling of Custer’s Last Stand, when George Custer led most of his command to annihilation at the Battle of the Little Bighorn in southern Montana in 1876.

  Boggs brings the events and personalities of the Battle of the Little Bighorn to life in a series of first-hand accounts.
