Westmore Justice — John Waters

The Westmore Justice Franchise is a series so far beyond the characterization of unique that it is singular. Westmore Justice is a provocative blueprint for unearthing criminal activities that profoundly alter the balance of a human life - activities that at the time have no particular importance, but when pieced together crystallize into a web of intrigue. From the sunny beaches of Malibu, California, to the corridors of power in Washington, DC, Westmore Justice exposes the kind of truths where countless careers are ruined and many lifetimes wasted. As the clues unfold, Grant Westmore goes with gut intuition and hunches, and not by standard police procedures. A former LAPD detective-turned-Beverly Hills-private-investigator, Grant hasn't come this far without learning that to catch a killer you have to think like one. As a team, Grant, Marlene Wilson and Carmela Gambini do more than they ever achieved alone. No stranger to wrestling problems head-on, they fight their way through each fiendish scheme, fitting the many jagged fragments into a single, appalling truth, while they cross paths with unscrupulous prosecutors, crime lords, savvy impostors, murderers, and adulterers. In each mystery, Grant and his crew struggle to make what they know to be the truth prevail against swelling and unsettling evidence to the contrary as a Pandora's Box of crime, legal trickery, and deception slowly opens before their eyes - eyes that never look the other way and usually reveal less than what the guilty hope for. Make no mistake about it, Grant did not grow up the heir apparent to any family fortune. He is proud to have earned his financial rank himself, by toiling hard to build an enviable roster of high-profile criminal defense attorney clients and unjustly prosecuted individuals, unwilling to settle for anything but the truth. Although life is ever-changing, one often says, "nothing like that could ever happen to me." Well, it can and it does in Westmore Justice.
