Fictional current events suspense/thriller which hangs the lives of two young killers on the verdict handed down by a world-wide internet jury.
When Seth Meek exits the parking lot at Fort Meade, he doesn't realize that he'll never return to his dream job - creating unbreakable computer encryption for the National Security Agency. His is a life of comfort and delight - a loving wife, daughter, and another on the way. He has money, security, and promise.
In the space of the next twenty-four hours, however, he is stripped of everything that he holds dear. Seth watches as his family is purposefully and hatefully murdered, becomes a Federal fugitive, and faces off against the waking nightmare of taking his own life.
In shame, self-loathing, and hatred he falls back upon what he knows - computers. Now driven by his rage, and with nothing to lose, Seth embarks on a audacious quest not only to find and capture his family's killers, but also to bring them to justice.
Seth, however, is not a killer. He is not a vigilante. He's just Seth... a glorified computer contractor for the NSA. Using his unique skill set, he reveals his plan to put the killers on trial... via the Internet. Social media is the perfect medium for the geometric progression that he has planned. The entire world will be the Grand Jury, forced to confront their own bloodlust, sense of justice, and morality as they decide upon a verdict.

I have downloaded more than 600 ebooks on my Kindle in the last couple of years and have to say that this book ranks near the top of all the books read. It is something we all can relate to and makes you look inside to see what you would do in the same situation. It put the choice in the hands of the people, the way the jury system is supposed to work!
First Timer Hits It out of The Park

It's truly hard to believe this is a novice novel: the story is gripping, the characters are real, and the exposition is effortless. A good first-timer maybe gets one or two, but Mr. Brodsky nails a three-run homer his first time at bat. I've been trying to pidgeon-hole the genre since I finished reading (devouring?) it this weekend, thinking it would be easy as I read along. Gritty Murder Mystery. There. Done. And, Funny Buddy Cop. Now done. Okay, add a HUGE pile of Techno Thriller. Alright. Please. Morality Play? Seriously?
Yeah, seriously.
Jury of Peers is all at once an incredibly good read AND a Gritty-Murder-Mystery-Funny-Buddy-Cop-Techno-Thriller-Morality-Play. Think about that for a second. It should be a hot mess, but it isn't. Far from it. Characters and scenes are woven in clear, descriptive, and -- more often than not -- starkly dark detail. If you're not intended to like a character, it's obvious from the beginning. But by the time you're done being introduced, you hate them for reasons that only become important later on. That's what makes a story fun to read, and this is one of those stories. Same is true for the good characters, of course, but he does the bad ones oh-so well.
My only gripe was the number of typos. While not exactly pervasive, they occurred with an irkable frequency precicely because everything else in the book was so well done. Perhaps it's a byproduct of the eBook "must-work-on-anything" medium, I know not of such things and will not pretend I do. But I throughly enjoyed reading this book, and will gladly buy and read anything Mr. Brodsky decides to write after this.
Well done, sir!

Pretty much from the moment I began reading this novel, I couldn't stop. Over the weekend, I would be up with the sun until I literally couldn't keep my eyes open anymore. And even now that I'm done, I'm still affected.
This book definitely makes you question some of your own beliefs, wondering what you would do if you were any one of the characters in the story. Its emotional, its visceral, its triumphant, thought-provoking and just a really great read.
Absolutely one of the best books I've read in a while.
