Juror Number Seven
by Hélène Vandermeer
Thirteen days to judge a man. And one thing he cannot tell anyone.
Étienne Mazière, heating engineer, forty-four, receives a summons no one may refuse: thirteen days at the assize court of appeal, retrying a man already sentenced to eighteen years. On the third day the investigators project a map of the area — and Étienne recognises the road. He drove it that night, at twenty-five past eleven. He saw something there. And the law forbids him to speak of it to anyone, the court included.
