Sworn Jury

By John D. Mills

When Ft. Myers attorney and infamous playboy, Bryce Cervante, is found dead the morning after a formal fundraiser at the Edison Home, everyone suspects Dallas Kelley. Kelley, a Florida real estate mogul, swears he is innocent but when the murder weapon is found in his car the state charges him with the sadistic murder. The whirlwind story of Kelley's trial and the secret lives of everyone involved make Sworn Jury, the fourth novel by Ft. Myers native John D. Mills, tough to put down.

Defense attorney Ray Harrison agrees to represent Kelley, however, his ties to the twisted case are much deeper than even he knows. Known as the "Killer Lawyer" because of a dark incident in his past, Harrison struggles to unravel the mystery of Cervante's murder while he fights to keep his troubled personal life under control. Since his wife left him for an older, more successful attorney, Harrison's life has been in a downward spiral and he realizes that this case is either the key to getting his life back on track or the final step in his self-destruction.

Opposing Harrison is state prosecutor, Brian Spere, who lives his own troubled home...
