Summary
An absolutely stunning suspense, with no weaknesses and many, many strengths! FBI Special Agents Jake Tucker and Cass McKenna have a unique partnership; together they have lived through tremendous loss and have survived extreme circumstances; both professionally and personally. When assigned to solve a shooting incident nvolving a fellow federal agent, Jake and Cass undercover fragile threads of criminal activity which implicate a powerful state senator, who just happens to be married to Jake's ex¬wife. Gambling, domestic violence, attempted assaults, custody disputes, drug infested street gangs, and ultimately murder all converge; giving this story the five star rating that it richly deserves. Thankfully, hints of impending romance offer \"Battered Justice\" a softer edge, but the lasting strength of this book lies in the author's ability to challenge the faith of her characters simultaneous with her readers. Ask yourself; Is there a God? Does He love you? Does he know what is going on with you? Could He save you? Will he? Deep questions which require deep faith and a fathomless dose of humility; especially for a highly trained, physically strong FBI agent. Fortunately or unfortunately, Jake and Cass will need every ounce of God's strength, rather than their own, when the unthinkable happens and Jake's very life and liberty begin to disappear. Enjoy every minute of \"Battered Justice\" with its brilliant story line and wonderfully developed characters; it's a page turner until the very end!
