Another Justice — Kelli Jae Baeli

Revenge is a dish best served. AUTHOR'S NOTE: To me, this is a mainstream novel, even though it has some lesbian characters in it. The story is not about orientation. It's about people who are dealing with extraordinarily difficult ethical dilemmas. It's about revenge. It's about the weaknesses in the justice system. It's about human nature. This book also contains graphic scenes of sexual violence. It is not for the faint-of-heart. I am faint-of-heart myself, so it was a difficult book to write, but I felt it was important in order to tell the story that needed to be told. But be aware, dear reader, this book does not blink. In Colorado Springs, Margo Benning owns a thriving gym; her source of independence and pride. One violent event is all it takes to reveal how powerless she really is. Reporting the crime against her will lead to the inevitable legal machinations, and likely result in her attacker going free. Unwilling to let the monster get away with his crime, she decides to seek justice on her own, copycatting a recent vigilante to deflect suspicion. But how is Margo to keep her covert deeds from her girlfriend and best friend, when they are both police detectives? Omega Fisher appreciates the synchronicity of her name. Her surname conjures the biblical phrase fisher of men, and in Greek, her first name means the end. She is, indeed, fishing for a few men, and she does, indeed, intend to END them. Meg wonders if there is some meaning in this correlation, or if it is just another random alignment in a universe full of random alignments. Ultimately, it hardly matters. She is who she is, and she is going to do what she is going to do. Fish for them. End them.
