Title: Strong Justice
Author: Jon Land
Did I listen or read?: library book
When did I finish?: August 2011 on an SB trip to see Jenny with Jacob
When was the book published: 2010
Main Characters: Caitlin Strong, texas ranger and daughter of Earl Strong, legendary texas ranger, and her sort of boyfriend Cort Wesley Masters, who used to be on the wrong side of the law. And Macerio, ruthless serial killer
What happens? Caitlin is a fifth generation ranger looking into the killings of multiple (hundreds of) women across the Mexico border. Cort Wesley has recently gotten custody of his boys and wants to straighten out and fly right. They also get involved with finding out what is going on with the billionaire farming water in Texas.
The weird thing for me is reading this after reading Grisham's The Appeal, which laid bar the corrupt Texas legal system and its use of the death penalty. These Texans were law enforcement officials with strong morality, guts, courage and respect for the law and for people. The other end of the pendulum, I think, with the truth likely somewhere in the middel.
How long was this? 340 pages
Did I like this? Very good stuff, reminded me of Robert Parker, tightly written and strong characters, will definitely try Jon Land again.
Overall grade: B+
