Crossing the Line

About the Book

There’s a fine line between justice and murder.

The more lowlifes Deputy Justice Hall kills, the easier it gets. What’s not so easy? Investigating his own crime scene. That’s a challenge he never anticipated, especially since his colleagues at the Elmaeder County Sheriff’s Office can never know that he sometimes replaces his badge with a judge’s gavel.

And an executioner’s hood.

They also can’t discover that the last man Justice killed is part of a group called the Syndicate, a gang responsible for selling a deadly drug known as Pinecones. That’s because he’s tracking down the Syndicate’s mastermind so he can deliver his own special brand of justice.

If he can find him first.

But things get even more complicated when a waitress from a local diner mysteriously vanishes, pulling Justice into another investigation. Disturbingly, the two cases begin to intertwine, revealing a connection that threatens to upend his double life. Now, at the intersection of duty and vengeance, Justice must make a harrowing choice: uphold the very law he serves or embrace his darker instincts to protect the innocent.
