When the jury become the suspects.
Jury duty is meant to be dull, isn’t it? But when twelve strangers are brought together for a high-profile murder trial, it quickly becomes clear this is no ordinary civic duty.
Sequestered in a hotel for their safety, the jurors soon find themselves sharing breakfasts, awkward small talk, and the occasional crossword—until an unexpected death turns their temporary confinement into something far more sinister.
Among them, Seb, a self-proclaimed rapper with big dreams, strikes up an unlikely friendship with Rose, an elderly crossword enthusiast who never starts the day without a pot of Earl Grey. Together, they set out to untangle a very different sort of puzzle: who wanted one of their fellow jurors gone? And as suspicion creeps closer to home, a chilling question lingers: could one of them be next?
With secrets bubbling to the surface and suspicions spreading through the corridors, Seb and Rose discover that solving the case may take a little wit, a dash of bravery, and perhaps just one more cup of tea.
