The Holdout
by Moore, Graham
Ten years ago, Maya Seale was the lone juror who held out for an acquittal in a high-profile murder trial, effectively changing the course of history. Now, the rest of the jury is being picked off one by one, and Maya finds herself the prime suspect in a new investigation. The story jumps between the original trial and the present day, creating a claustrophobic sense of dread that never lets up. Moore excels at turning the jury room into a pressure cooker where private secrets and public morality collide. You are constantly forced to weigh whether Maya is a hero fighting for justice or a master manipulator hiding a dark agenda. This is perfect for readers who enjoy being kept off-balance by complex characters and want a legal thriller that feels more like a psychological puzzle than a standard courtroom procedural.
