The Cost of Justice: When Vengeance Wears a Suit

By Shawn J. Wright

THE JUSTIFIABLE HOMICIDE SERIES - BOOK ONE

A single gunshot shatters two families-and ignites a war no courtroom can contain.

When Dr. Miles Hargrove is killed during a late-night carjacking, the city calls it justice. An arrest is made. A suspect is charged.

But justice doesn't care about intentions.

Darnell Bates is a working-class father who made one fatal mistake. His son, Jahlil, refuses to let the system decide his father's fate-and is willing to sacrifice everything to save him.

Brandon Thompson is the victim's son. A brilliant defense attorney who understands the law better than anyone else-and knows exactly how to bend it. Grief turns to purpose. Purpose turns to control.

When fate brings these two men together, neither understands the truth that links them... until revenge is already in motion.

The Cost of Justice is a gripping urban legal thriller about power, grief, and the thin line between justice and vengeance-where the law isn't broken, it's weaponized.

Because when vengeance wears a suit, no one walks away clean.
