Hayden is on track to become the youngest partner in her prestigious DC law firm . . .
If the case she’s just been handed doesn’t destroy her first.
Hayden McCarthy knows firsthand the pain that follows when justice is not served. It’s why she became an attorney and why she’s so driven in her career. When she’s assigned a wrongful death case against the government, she isn’t sure if it’s the lucky break she needs to secure a partnership—or an attempt to make sure she never gets there.
Further complicating matters is Andrew Wesley, her roommate’s distractingly attractive cousin. But Andrew’s father is a congressman, and Hayden’s currently taking on the government. Could the timing be any worse?
The longer she keeps the case active, the higher the stakes become. Unknown enemies seem determined to kill the case—or her. Logic and self-preservation indicate she should close the case. But how can she, when justice is still just beyond her reach?

Book Author: Cara Putman
What do you like about this book:
"I've heard this case is a loser, so if you turn it around you'll be a hero."
Hayden McCarthy is at a point in her law career where winning one more big case could catapult her into a partnership within the law firm where she has already managed to excel. Except that the case her boss hands her has all the markings of career implosion; for she will have to force the federal government to have to defend its actions, or lack thereof, within a Texas juvenile detention center for illegal immigrants. A young man died there, and the deeper Hayden digs, the more complicated the story becomes.
Andrew Wesley loves ingratiating young immigrants into American society, spending time daily directing various activities at the "New Beginnings" community center where he works. In the evenings however, Andrew uses his quick wit and inside knowledge of politics, as the son of a powerful politician, to create satirical cartoons under the pen name, Roger Walters. When his cousin Emilie, who just happens to be Hayden's apartment mate, introduces the two, Andrew is intrigued with the lovely attorney, but even he could never have drawn out the path ahead, which forces them both into the epicenter of international crime.
"Beyond Justice"is a page turner, and will be a favorite among appreciating fans of well-written legal suspense.
