Justice

A young student is murdered in the street. A shocked community can find no reason why one student should kill another. The trial is held, but its resolution is disturbing. Detective Sergeant Tim Earley heads an investigation into multiple murders which target members of the judicial system. Are the victims only linked by their professional association or is there a more sinister connection? The investigating team suspects that a past crime is tied to the present case. Then, a con operation is uncovered that preys upon new retirees with an elaborately disguised ponzi scheme. The detectives learn that greed has created shifting relationships and prompted a new succession of crime. The detectives are led into a frustrating morass of false and mistaken identities, confusing motives and unlikely suspects. The tale questions whom the law serves when technicalities sway judicial decision-making. The reader is left wondering how far to trust in ‘Blind Justice’ and the authority of the legal system.
