She died with secrets. He'll risk everything to uncover them.
Chief Deputy Randall Steadman has seen his share of tragedy, but nothing prepares him for the death of Deputy Sarah Jenkins-a loyal colleague found dead in what's quickly ruled a drunk driving accident. The problem? Sarah didn't drink. And Steadman knows it.
Determined to uncover the truth, Steadman and his partner, Deputy Frost, begin digging into a powerful local family whose political influence stretches far beyond rural Mason County, Washington. What starts as a quiet investigation soon spirals into a dangerous game of cover-ups, intimidation, and corruption.
With each new clue, the cost of pursuing justice climbs-and so does the risk factor.
As pressure mounts from his own department to stand down, Steadman must choose between protecting his career and honoring the memory of a friend who trusted him to fight for what's right. In a flawed system where morality sometimes counts as a liability, Steadman's empathy might be the one thing that destroys him-or saves them all.
If you enjoy character-driven crime stories with moral complexity and unpredictable twists, you'll love Judge, Jury, & Executioner. Grab it today to experience a haunting thriller that lingers long after the final page.
