Justifiable Homicide
About this eBook
No one sees the bruises.
No one hears the threats.
And no one suspects the horrifying secret she believes is unfolding inside her own home.
With every failed attempt to escape, Louise becomes convinced that the only way to save herself—and her daughter—is to eliminate the monster who hides behind a polished public image. But when two young women are brutally murdered by a pair of sadistic bikers, homicide detectives Hugh Rawlins and Lisa Pasky are drawn into a case that exposes the darkest corners of human violence, abuse, and vengeance.
As the investigations collide, the line between justice and murder becomes dangerously blurred.
From legendary horror and suspense author John A. Russo, co-creator of Night of the Living Dead, comes a gripping psychological thriller that asks one haunting question:
When the law cannot protect the innocent… is homicide ever justifiable?
