10 Gripping and Intelligent Legal Thrillers When a homeless war veteran
is beaten to death by the police, stormy protests ensue, engulfing a
small New Jersey town. Soon after, three cops are gunned down. A
multi-state manhunt is underway for a cop killer on the loose. And Dr.
Tessa Thorpe, a veteran's counselor, is caught up in the chase. Donald
Darfield, an African-American Iraqi war vet, war-time buddy of the
beaten man, and one of Tessa's patients, is holed up in a mountain
cabin. Tessa, acting on instinct, sets off to find him, but the swarm of
law enforcement officers get there first, leading to Darfield's dramatic
capture. Now, the only people separating him from the lethal needle of
state justice are Tessa and ageing blind lawyer, Nathaniel Bodine. Can
they untangle the web tightening around Darfield in time, when the press
and the justice system are baying for revenge? Justice Gone is the first
in a series of psychological thrillers involving Dr Tessa Thorpe,
wrapped in the divisive issues of modern American society including
police brutality and disenfranchised returning war veterans. N Lombardi
Jr. is the author of compelling and heartfelt novel The Plain of Jars.
