(2026)
A novel by

 
 
The forty-seven-count indictment names a Liberian-American oncologist who has not missed a tumor board in seven years. The cooperating witness is the practice manager who actually built the scheme. He has use immunity. He has three proffers. He is the government's case in chief.

Twelve days into deliberation, the jury hangs eleven to one for acquittal. The government refiles the next morning.

Sloane Korva has been a federal public defender in Cleveland for thirteen years. She has never tried the same case twice. She has also never had a cooperator's ex-wife knock on the office door six weeks before the retrial with a banker's box of records and one name written on the inside flap.

The name belongs to a man at the top of the hospital system's revenue cycle. The man at the top of the hospital system's revenue cycle has been letting Trevor Halloran do exactly what Trevor Halloran was doing, for exactly as long as Trevor Halloran was doing it, in exactly the practices Trevor Halloran was paid to manage.

The second trial is not about Mariam Eze.

For readers of John Grisham, Lisa Scottoline, William Landay, Robert Dugoni, Lisa Genova, and Rebecca Cantrell. Hung Jury is the third book in the Justice Files. Read The Verdict Is In and Contempt of Court first. The Appeal coming next.
