Will they find the defendant guilty, or not guilty? And will the jurors' decision be the correct one?Since its first publication in 1940, Verdict of Twelve has been widely hailed as a classic of British crime writing. This edition offers a new generation of readers the chance to find out why so many leading commentators have admired the novel for so long.
