Le Maître du jeu (2003)
Trois ans après l'assassinat de son mari et de onze de ses collègues sous les balles d'un tueur fou, Celeste Wood espère que soient sanctionnés les fabricants d'armes impliqués dans ce tragique fait divers. Décidé à gagner ce combat, l'avocat de la plaignante, Wendall Rohr est un homme pétri de principes généreux, un modèle de probité et de courtoisie sudiste. Face à lui, le défenseur des armes Vicksburg est en réalité un pantin entre les mains du "consultant en jury" Rankin Fitch, payé pour assurer sa relaxe. Cet homme de terrain aguerri a déployé des moyens humains et techniques considérables pour s'assurer le contrôle du jury. Un seul juré a échappé à ses investigations : Nick. Alors même que Fitch commence à s'interroger sur le passé et l'identité de ce dernier, une femme mystérieuse offre de lui "livrer" le jury, clés en main, pour dix millions de dollars...
