Detective Wade Jackson has solved many homicides in his career on the police force, but the one that he's never been able to solve is the one that is the most important to him. Eleven years ago, his parents were gunned down in the middle of their living room. At the time, a handyman was arrested and convicted of the crime. Now, all these years later, this handyman, Hector Vargas, contacts Jackson, asking to see him. Vargas is dying and wants to clear up something very important with Jackson-- He isn't the man that murdered Jackson's parents. Vargas contends that he was abused into confessing and wants Jackson to know that the real murderer is still on the loose.

In the meantime, detective-in-training, Lara Evans, catches a case of a woman, Gina Stahl, who has just awakened from a 2 year coma claiming that someone tried to kill her. At the time of Gina's incident, everyone believed that she had tried to commit suicide by overdosing. Gina now claims that wasn't the case and that someone had attacked her and given her the medication. She was never supposed to wake up but she's beaten a lot of odds to do so. When it turns out that her ex-husband is a cop and she's accusing him of trying to kill her, things get really interesting.

Jackson is pulled into Evans' case while simultaneously digging into a past that he hopes will help him finally put his parents' murders to rest. The evidence keeps pointing in all sorts of directions so no one can possibly suspect what's coming with regard to both cases.

DYING FOR JUSTICE is an amazing book! You're caught up in the story that Ms. Sellers wants to tell you from the very first sentence. The characters are so real that it's like you know them. Every page brings something new and unexpected to the reader. Also, watch for some slight, but interesting, interaction between Jackson and Evans. Don't miss this one!
