Kelly Marshall Bio: I always wanted to write, but I went to broadcasting school instead of college. I spent years spinning records and doing love song dedications. Congress passed a law changing the radio business forever. Behemoth broadcasting corporations ate up radio stations like locusts in a wheat field. Radio announcers like me were axed on bloody Fridays with surgical precision. I left radio and followed my dream to write.

Justice by Kelly Marshall is an intense thriller that will keep you reading late into the night. I know it did me! Madison Jackson goes to hell and back in this story – what a strong woman! Kelly shows us a side of Magnolia Bluff we hadn’t seen before. Terrific addition to the series.
This entry in the Magnolia Bluff Crime Chronicles raises the stakes. When State Conservation Police Officer, Madison Jackson, discovers a young girl dead after being violently raped, she can’t turn away. And when determines the victim is from Mexico, probably smuggled in to be a sex slave in Texas, she determines she must go into Mexico and try to find the parents and tell them that their child is dead. But that puts Madison in the home town of the cartel who had probably kidnapped the young girl. Not to give a spoiler, this is a thriller of the top rank and Ms. Marshall does a masterful job of keeping the reader involved and turning the pages. I highly recommend it. jim
Thanks, Jim!
Kelly, I didn’t realize you had a companion book trailer to go with your intense crime drama. Nice touch to go with such a powerful drama. Thanks.
Thanks, Charles. We always love a book trailer!
In my review for this book I called it shattering; one of the most powerful books in the series. The story of Madison Jackson’s nightmare will effect you deeply. Kelly Marshall is an exceptional writer, author of the excellent Winston and Strom series, set in Seattle. Make sure you pick this one up. Highly recommended.
Thanks, Richard!
WOW. Just watched the book trailer and read the description — this book sounds INTENSE and exactly what crime fiction lovers will enjoy. Thanks for sharing!
