After an event that shattered his world, David O’Neal courageously sets out to rebuild his life as a speech writer for Barringston Relief’s wealthy and powerful founder–a man committed to bringing food, medicine, and help to thousands around the world. A man capable of great compassion…and tremendous fury. Then suddenly, David realizes AJ Barringston is much more dangerous than he appears. DO THE ENDS EVER JUSTIFY THE MEANS?

It rips open our rawest emotions and lays them on the page, macabre yet familiar. It moves our darkest desires beyond anything we¿d ever dream of doing and allows us to experience a borderless form of justice without risk. TERMINAL JUSTICE is the story of highly trained but ordinary people who find themselves at a moment in life when they have nothing to lose by using their government training outside the law and following through on the impulses that sometimes surface in all of us. It¿s the story of an Assistant U.S. Attorney and seven federal agents who realize that no matter what they do, they won¿t face life imprisonment or the death penalty. That realization triggers a desire to remedy the legal system¿s weak and unfair decisions. But justice is never clear cut, and it¿s seldom easy. And in this instance, the feds are confident that they won¿t face punishment because they won¿t live long enough to go to trial.

TERMINAL JUSTICE is the story of highly trained but ordinary people who find that they have nothing to lose by using their skills outside the law and following through where the courts failed. But purpose has a price, and the vigilantes soon learn that there is always something to lose.
