BEYOND JUSTICE Hayden is a lawyer and has won most of her cases. She
shares an apartment with her best friend Emilie who is in
the middle of trying to help her cousin Andrew set up a fair
for children. Andrew is the son of a congressman, but he
also has a secret, he writes a blog that goes against
everything that his father believes. Hayden is handed a really strange case. It seems a young boy
was murdered while in holding for coming into the United
States illegally. Nothing about this case makes sense to
Hayden, but since one of the partners gives her the case,
there is no way she can refuse it. Hayden interviews the
mother of the young man, but the mom is not giving her any
information. It also seems that Andrew is mentoring the
other son of the woman. Why wouldn't the mother tell Hayden
anything? Hayden gets Emilie involved in this, and the two are trying
everything to get information about Miguel's murder.
Hayden does find out that he was in a detention center in
Texas. Hayden knows that she must go there to get any
information that she can. For some reason, her company
refuses to pay for her to go there. Along with everything
else that is going on, the partner that gave her the case is
murdered. Does his death have anything to do with this case? While Andrew is trying very hard to get this fair together,
he is also being blackmailed by someone who claims to know
his true identity and is going to expose him. But in a
twist of fate, he tells his father what is going on, and he
gets a shock, his father already knew. Cara Putman writes a great story. It has suspense and a
little romance. I really liked the way that the story line
kept me guessing. I never thought that being a lawyer could
be as dangerous as in BEYOND JUSTICE. Hayden goes through a
lot. I am sure that some lawyers do encounter situations
like this. I see from the back cover that Cara is a lawyer.
Her profession makes sense by the way she writes. Maybe
something like this has happened to her. BEYOND JUSTICE is the kind of book; you would want to have
if you are going on vacation. You can just sit back and
enjoy. It is a fast read. Read it in two days. When I can
read a book in that short of time, I know it is going to be
great.
SUMMARY
Hayden is on track to become the youngest partner in her prestigious DC law firm . . .
If the case she’s just been handed doesn’t destroy her first.
Hayden McCarthy knows firsthand the pain that follows when justice is not served. It’s why she became an attorney and why she’s so driven in her career. When she’s assigned a wrongful death case against the government, she isn’t sure if it’s the lucky break she needs to secure a partnership—or an attempt to make sure she never gets there.
Further complicating matters is Andrew Wesley, her roommate’s distractingly attractive cousin. But Andrew’s father is a congressman, and Hayden’s currently taking on the government. Could the timing be any worse?
The longer she keeps the case active, the higher the stakes become. Unknown enemies seem determined to kill the case—or her. Logic and self-preservation indicate she should close the case. But how can she, when justice is still just beyond her reach?
