JUDGMENT is the classic action/adventure novel that was a runaway paperback sensation in the 1980s…and that skyrocketed the career of then-UCLA student Lee Goldberg, who later became the #1 New York Times, Wall Street Journal and Publishers Weekly bestselling author of Malibu Burning, Calico, Lost Hills, fifteen Adrian Monk novels, and the first five globally bestselling Fox & O’Hare novels with Janet Evanovich.
Brett Macklin was a freewheeling son of sunny California, a collector of vintage cars and a connoisseur of beautiful women. But when his father is murdered by a street gang, Macklin becomes something else–a deadly weapon against crime, a relentless vigilante who won’t stop until he’s wiped out the killers who have turned Los Angeles into a war zone.
“As stunning as the report of a .357 Magnum, a dynamic premiere effort […] The Best New Paperback Series of the year!” West Coast Review of Books
“Top-shelf 80’s adventure fiction. The Mr. Jury books are probably about the most fun you can have doing so vicarious vigilanting. There’s a reason Goldberg is still a successful author. There’s plenty of smooth and fast action.” Bloody Spicy Books Blog

“Lee Goldberg’s The Jury Series serves vengeance hot with loads of action and plenty of suspense to keep you turning the e-pages. Vigilante justice was never so much fun,” —Joel Goldman, Bestselling author of “Motion to Kill”
