Verdict of Twelve reconstructs a 1940 courtroom drama from the Golden Age of mystery. A woman is accused of murder, and the narrative follows the twelve jurors as their private histories, biases and doubts shape the search for a unanimous verdict.

Rather than focusing on detection, the novel turns inward to explore moral ambiguity, social prejudice and the psychology of decision-making. Each juror's past alters how evidence is weighed, producing tense, character-driven legal suspense.

Originally published in 1940 and reissued by Poisoned Pen Press in 2017, this paperback is 256 pages and offers an accessible entry to classic British crime fiction.

  • Courtroom perspective centered on jurors
  • Golden Age style and period detail
  • Psychological and moral themes

This seller was incredible. I purchased an inexpensive (used) book and was almost immediately notified that it shipped on the same day I ordered it. I received it within 2 days. It was exactly as described - it looked like it had never even been read! Great service & a great product. Thanks!
