Description

A brutal murder. A rash of sophisticated burglaries. A serial rapist.

Little does veteran LAPD Detective Maddie Divine and her new partner, Jade Donovan, realize that a single thread tie the crimes together. But as their investigation digs deeper and the cases begin to unravel, they threaten to expose one of Maddie’s darkest secrets and force her to confront a truth she’s tried desperately to bury.

Harley Elliot: The sleazy broken-down owner of a trendy pizzaria pays his employees well above minimum wage. What’s in it for him, and if he gets caught, will he go to jail?

The Saunders Brothers:
Blake - A cunning manipulator who knows he’s devised the perfect crime.
Logan – The hot-tempered middle brother whose careless misadventure made him a perfect target.
Jeremy – The peacekeeper for his older brothers and the calculating voice of reason in their dysfunctional trio.

Shelbie Saunders: The adopted little sister of the wild Saunder’s boys is trying to find her place in the family as she blossoms into a young woman. Trying to keep up with her new brothers is her first mistake.

Zak Murdock: The brawny sergeant of police has a troubling history with Maddie’s partner, Jade. When he’s assigned to detectives, he puts Maddie and Jade in his sights.

Walt Lamb: The hard-working bartender at Harley’s pizzaria keeps a low profile to protect his ‘side job,’ yet he misses nothing.

Advance Praise

"Once again, Ms. Bennett has taken a magnifying glass and shown her readers the daily struggles of police life, exposed the politics of a metropolitan police force, and illuminated the dark underbelly of seemingly nice neighborhoods... I enjoyed the first two books in this series, but for me, this one is the best yet. Five stars, or perhaps that should be five badges, for A Deadly Justice."

“This book was awesome – I don’t normally sit down and read a book in 2 days – except Kathy Bennett books. LOL Maddie is such an incredible woman – full of struggles, strong, outspoken and speaks the truth when it needs to be heard – willing to sacrifice for good.Can you type faster – I need more Maddie!”
- Debbie Bailey, All Mystery eNewsletter

"Ms. Bennett draws from her 30 years experience as a member of the LAPD, to give realistic, believable characters, Miss Maddie Devine, and her partner, Jade Donovan, as they work together to solve crimes in their District. Main Stud, Cash McCool, becomes a love interest, as their cases intertwine in homicide and sex. A Deadly Justice is a very well thought out book, as Ms. Kathy Bennett parts sparingly with information that keeps a reader wanting to keep turning the pages, late into the night."
