The Hamptons Lawyer is the third book in the Jane Smith Thriller series, co-authored by James Patterson and Mike Lupica, published by Little, Brown and Company. An instant #1 New York Times bestseller, it follows undefeated criminal defense attorney Jane Smith—known as the Hamptons Lawyer—set against the backdrop of the beautiful beaches and luxury lifestyle of Long Island's famous East End.

Jane Smith is back defending her repeat client Rob Jacobson, a Long Island real estate mogul charged with the murders of an entire family—a triple homicide even more damning than the last case she helped him beat. A time-stamped photograph placing him at the scene has surfaced on the eve of trial, making this the most challenging defense of Jane's career. Despite believing her client is being framed by organized crime boss Sonny Blum, Jane must navigate a hostile prosecution, dangerous mob connections, and a professional hitman who has been ordered to eliminate her and her partner Jimmy Cunniff.

Jane is also fighting terminal brain cancer, eight months into a twelve-month prognosis. Armed with brilliant legal arguments, hard evidence, and two Glocks—and aided by ex-NYPD detective Jimmy Cunniff—Jane refuses to let illness stop her from pursuing justice. The novel blends fast-paced courtroom drama with high-stakes action and deeply personal stakes, delivering the trademark short-chapter, page-turning pace Patterson fans expect.

The Hamptons Lawyer is available in hardcover (400 pages, $30.00), ebook, audiobook, and trade paperback formats. ISBN: 9780316569934. Praised by Morning Joe as "Great book. Great series. Best yet."
