Dark Justice - Hughes J.L.

A KILLER'S VENGEANCE REVIVES BURIED SECRETS...PROVING SOME FAMILY TIES ARE MEANT TO BE SEVERED-BY DEATH.

Haunted by the unsolved murder of her mother two decades ago, NYPD homicide detective Jade Carmichael is thrust into a chilling hunt for a serial killer known as "The Redeemer." His gruesome methods and cryptic messages tie directly to the case that shattered her childhood in Shadow Hook, an eerie town in Upstate New York where secrets fester and justice falters. 

As The Redeemer targets high-profile victims with no apparent connection, he taunts Jade with clues about her mother's killer-secrets that could unravel her team, the department, and the very town she's sworn to protect. With time running out, Jade must confront ghosts from her past while navigating the dangerous alliances within her team: her loyal but enigmatic partner Kane, steadfast friend Jackson, a rising rookie detective, Amy, and the unsettling department shrink, Dr. Abraham Maxwell, whose knowledge may prove as deadly as it is valuable.  

But The Redeemer is no ordinary predator. He's a calculating artist of vengeance, delivering retribution in a way that blurs the line between justice and monstrosity. In a high-stakes game of cat and mouse, Jade will come face-to-face with truths she's not ready to confront and a blood connection more horrifying than she could imagine.  

Dark Justice, the first installment in the Broken Jade series, delivers an electrifying mix of psychological intrigue, police procedural grit, and shocking twists. Perfect for fans of James Patterson's Alex Cross, and A Killer In The Family, this thriller will grip you from the first page and haunt you long after the final twist.
