About the Book

BARBARA BLAKE is a bright, young, attractive, and ambitious defense attorney. Alejandro Soto, an inmate already serving two life sentences for the brutal murder of a drug dealer and the man's mother, is on trial for a third murder, one he did not commit but that could well result in the Death Penalty. When Blake and Soto meet in the San Cristobal, California courtroom, they begin a 120-day journey that will invariably alter both of their lives. Together, they spiral ever more deeply into the dark heart of a quintessentially American story of sex and love, truth and lies, justice and prejudice, crime and punishment, and, ultimately, life and death.

Kirkus Reviews: "The author adeptly captures the grim reality of prison life... Ruiz artfully develops Alejandro into a complex character-both a victim and murderer, neither a hero nor villain, and a man who takes solace in the company of great literature while in prison. Barbara, too, is a captivating figure-twice divorced, she rose from the ashes of romantic failure to become a brilliant lawyer, and her 'unique style of cross-examination, ' part rhetorical concision and part savage mortification, is thrilling to behold. In addition, the author writes in crisply evocative prose, both poignant and lucid... There's much to admire in this deeply intelligent novel... A thoughtful exploration of life amid urban blight and in prison."

Asher Syed, Readers' Favorite: "Ruiz definitely knows how to write a legal thriller. Blake and Soto are phenomenal characters who, through subtle action on her part and gritty interaction on his, come alive within the first two chapters...This truly is a character-driven story with the added bonus of a plot that could, without question, stand on its own two legs. The aspects of prison life and courtroom drama feel authentic and exciting, but the personal relationship that develops takes this novel to a five-star level. There is a human element here that is only found in top-tiered crime fiction, and this book is filled with it. I adore all of the major bestselling authors of this genre and have finally found a new favorite that, in my opinion, belongs in the same league. A truly brilliant novel. An exceptional writer. Highly recommended."

Laura Fabiani, Library of Clean Reads: "A freight train that slowly and meticulously gets moving and picks up speed quickly until it comes to a shattering crash.... [Ruiz] makes his readers live through the lives of people in impossible situations, exposes the flaws in our society and justice system, and shows how the human heart can thrive on love and hope, no matter how dire a situation. Ruiz is also not afraid to build characters that are real, very human, and flawed throwing them in risky and volatile situations and circumstances.... 120 Days is an unforgettable story with characters that will live long after you turn the last page."

Working Mommy Journal: "[Barbara and Alejandro's] love is definitely forbidden and could destroy so much and we are left on the edge of our seats throughout the whole novel, wondering will they be caught, what future could these two have? While the ending was fantastic and suited the story, my heart was a bit sore!"

Svetlana's Reads and Views: "Both characters will bring out sympathy far more than wrath and anger. The characters are extremely well-crafted and I grew to like them."

Maria Beltran, Readers' Favorite: "Unique love story that ultimately spirals into a matter of life and death.... Ruiz is a great storyteller and he has a unique eye for details. His 120 Days is a social commentary on the American justice system and society as a whole, told from a vantage point with a generous dose of empathy so it becomes easy to feel for [Barbara and Alejandro], a modern-day Romeo and Juliet."
