The justice system doesn't always work for the abused. Sometimes a defendants gets off on a technicality. There are occasions where the abused are too frighten to testify. We have all seen or heard of cases where the defendant or his attorney charms the jury and manages to win an acquittal.But what if there was no hope of putting abusers behind bars. If there was a conspiracy between the Judges, District Attorney's and Sheriffs. Would you become a vigilante? Could you become the judge, jury and executioner? How much would it take for good people to begin to take the law into their own hands. How many abused children would you be able to see discarded by the system before taking a stand.In one small town we start to see the conspiracy's unfold. The conspiracy of silence when the people of the town refuse to stand up for justice. The conspiracy of the legal community when the police, judges and prosecutors refuse to stand up for the victims and the people who ban together to bring frontier justice to the perpetrators of the crimes.Ms. Wade gives us a fictional depiction of just this scenario. Her characters are interesting, their motivations clear and understandable even while we shudder at what they are doing.This book is well written, her characters are believable, the dialogue is interesting and moves the plot forward and the situations are touching and heartfelt. Ms. Wade has done her research and it shows.There is a problem with wordiness and descriptions that take up too many pages. But the novel is still good and worth reading.Read time: 2 1/2 hoursKaren Bryant Doering,Parent's Little Black Book
