"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

The series, published in 1985, under the title 357 Vigilante was written by "Ian Ludlow"... a pseudonym for Lee Goldberg, who wrote the books while he was still a teenage UCLA student, under the supervision of his professor, novelist Lewis Perdue (The DaVinci Legacy, The Queensgate Reckoning, Daughter of God etc).

Goldberg would later go on to write and/or produce such TV shows as Monk, Diagnosis Murder, SeaQuest, and The Glades co-create the hit Hallmark Mystery movie series Mystery 101 and write many more novels, including fifteen best-selling "Monk" mysteries, five internationally bestselling "Fox & O'Hare" novels co-authored with Janet Evanovich, and in a nod to THE JURY SERIES, the "Ian Ludlow Thriller" trilogy: True Fiction, Killer Thriller, and Fake Truth. He is also the author of the five novels in the "Eve Ronin" series and the thriller Calico.
