A gripping story of street justice, codes of silence, and corruption
"A dramatic, thought-provoking novel" — Stephen D., Editor
Inspired by true events, ALL IN THE NAME OF JUSTICE chronicles the gripping and enlightening fictional journey of one man who went from Chicago police officer to prosecutor and criminal defense lawyer, exposing the behind-the-scenes underbelly of street justice, corruption, and the “blue wall” of complicit silence, all things done and pursued in the name of justice.
ALL IN THE NAME OF JUSTICE is based on author experiences, where, in the opening chapter, a gruesome murder trial rests with the jury for deliberation while the defense lawyer lead character, Jack Keegan, recalls the inescapable human frailties and stress in being a police officer, prosecutor, and defense lawyer — the dangers, considerations, and justifications for things done in the name of justice. The lead antagonist, Raphael Martinez, rises through the ranks of being a street corner dealer in Chicago to a drug cartel major distributor throughout Mexico, Miami, and Chicago.
The story invites readers to examine the real need for strong and effective law enforcement, prosecutorial, and judicial authority with realistic oversight that does not inhibit authority while holding it responsible. The reader is prompted to see the need for public cooperation and understanding of authority. The underlying message, if any, is to promote just governance with fairness to all.
The last 25th chapter returns a surprising jury verdict and ending for the lead antagonist defendant, Raphael Martinez. The story is exciting and will keep you reading to the end without putting the book down. It is a book you will enjoy and will never regret buying.
