From Booklist

In the near future, the U.S. justice system employs a select group of highly trained professionals to act as trial juries. These men and women, whose identities are closely guarded secrets (they don’t even know each other’s real names), are administered, protected, and monitored by the Federal Division of Jurors (FDJ), and the system has worked smoothly, dispensing fair and speedy justice, ever since its inception. But now a jury foreman has disappeared. Was it foul play, or did the man decide he wanted out of the FDJ? To find out the truth, FBI agent Holland Byron is teamed up with an enigmatic and ramrod-straight new recruit, Wyatt Ert (yes, Wyatt Ert). When other jurors start dropping out of sight or dying, Holland and Wyatt realize they have a massively difficult puzzle to solve: Is someone attacking the justice system itself, or is this a ruthless act of personal revenge? A very intriguing novel, with an interesting take on the American justice system, a realistic near-future society, a solid mystery, and a couple of appealing lead characters. --David Pitt --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.
