Description
Where do you turn when there’s no one left to trust…
At sleepy Fort Leavenworth in Kansas, the Commanding General’s wife Bunny Harris has been murdered, her decapitated head placed between her legs, and the Arabic word for “dust” scrawled in her blood over the bed.
Jack Garrett, a Los Angeles lawyer and former special ops soldier who recently lost his own wife, starts working on the case with Cameron Wells, a beautiful and equally ambitious attorney.
Frank O’Connor, who admits to having an affair with Bunny, is quickly charged with her rape and murder.
Yet he continues to deny any involvement in Bunny’s death.
O’Connor requests that Garrett defend him, and Wells is given orders to spy on Garrett.
Soon evidence emerges which points to the General’s involvement in war crimes and the killing of Iraqi POWs with a nerve agent simply known called “dust.”
Was Bunny killed with this same nerve agent?
Eager to keep things under wraps, the CIA bring in Phillip Rubie and his daughter Simone, who kidnap Garrett’s son in an attempt to frighten up off the case.
But Garrett won’t give up that easily.
During the trial, the prosecutor receives a CD showing Bunny and O’Connor at an S&M club, where O’Connor appears to cut off her head with a machete.
O’Connor is offered a deal, but refuses, citing his innocence once more.
With everyone harboring dark secrets, Garrett isn’t sure who he can trust.
And when his son makes a shocking discovery, the case, and Garrett’s entire life, are turned upside down.
Sometimes The Price of Justice is too much to pay…
