A Murder of Justice
Robert Andrews
- “Mordant,
- dynamic,
- rousing,
- effervescent,
- provocative
- and
- just
- plain
- good...Superior
- fiction,
- etched
- with
- a
- sharp,
- fierce,
- steely—and
- talented—pen.”—Los
- Angeles
- TimesWhen
- Skeeter
- Hodges
- is
- gunned
- down
- in
- a
- quiet
- black
- Washington,
- D.C.,
- neighborhood,
- few
- mourn
- the
- loss.
- He
- was
- a
- vicious
- drug
- runner
- who
- took
- out
- his
- competition
- and
- intimidated
- witnesses
- into
- silence.
- To
- homicide
- detectives
- Frank
- Kearney
- and
- José
- Phelps,
- Skeeter
- got
- what
- he
- deserved.
- Still,
- it’s
- a
- murder,
- and
- that
- means
- a
- search
- for
- a
- killer—until
- their
- boss
- intervenes.He
- wants
- them
- to
- go
- back
- to
- some
- of
- those
- witnesses
- and
- see
- how
- many
- unsolved
- cases
- can
- be
- laid
- on
- Skeeter’s
- grave—and
- make
- the
- department’s
- numbers
- look
- good.
- But
- making
- the
- numbers
- and
- making
- a
- collar
- are
- two
- very
- different
- things.
- With
- the
- streets
- turning
- into
- killing
- fields,
- and
- the
- pressure
- growing,
- Kearney
- and
- Phelps
- must
- choose
- between
- following
- orders—and
- following
- their instincts...
