The Good Wife: Quill Forgets Nothing

A courtroom seats twelve jurors. He has the use of a thirteenth presence nobody else can see. The Twelfth Chair reads the room’s tempo — the half-second before a juror decides, the beat where opposing counsel commits — and it never loses a page of anything he has read. It runs on focus-stamina that drains with every additional person he holds at once. Open the full room too early and the overload costs a verdict. August Quill was a paralegal turned legal podcaster who never got licensed. He woke in 2010 inside a Northwestern graduate three days into a junior associate’s job at Lockhart/Gardner. The third gift is worse than useful: he can feel a compromise arriving before anyone offers it to him. Diane has started routing him work that has nothing to do with his own cases, and Howard Lyman has been a partner here for twenty years. — Description from novelcodex.orgFull novel: The Good Wife: Quill Forgets Nothing — read the rest free on N​o⁠v​e⁠l​C⁠o​d⁠e​x⁠.​o⁠r​g⁠
