About this listen

When the legal system fails to convict an abuser, what do you do?

Meet Assistant District Attorney Lettie Portman, a sex-crimes prosecutor whose past demands justice. When a 14-year-old girl is savagely attacked by her mother's live-in boyfriend, Lettie is called to the hospital. There, she meets a sweet young girl whose only goal is to go to school and come home to a safe environment. But mom's boyfriend makes the girl's world anything but safe. Soon, the abuse gets worse, and Lettie, the prosecutor, goes to the grand jury with the case. Two juries later, the abuser is still loose on the streets.

Lettie is no stranger to abuse. She takes matters into her own hands.

Will Lettie's own past interfere with her prosecution of what should be San Diego's Most Wanted? Will she be able to make peace with her own abuse and move on to become the hard-hitting prosecutor the young girl deserves right now? Is hope on the horizon?

Listened to this book for twelve hours. The author’s magnificent style of writing planted little nuggets which surfaced later. This kept anxious for the next chapter to see what happened.

One of the best reads I’ve listened to in years with Audible. The narrator was tremendous; coupled with the author and the narrator, this is an excellent book. I highly recommend it.

I did not have any dislikes: All excellent.

How could mother calmly continue to prosecute a child abductor while her own son is missing?

If you’re familiar with the legal system there are a lot of things that just don’t add up. Also towards the end things become pretty unbelievable. The narration was generally good (minus some mispronunciations). I liked the beginning but it sort or fell apart in the second half. I don’t think I’ll continue the series.

Meh

Riveting and realistic storyline. It kept my attention for several hours straight as I prepare for a cross country roadtrip. If you are a parent, be aware of a couple scenes that include kidnapping and sexual abuse of a child. Just enough info to confirm, no graphics.

John Ellsworth , author of the Michael Gresham and Thaddeus Murfee legal series has started another new legal series. The protagonist in this series is Lettie Portman. She’s a newly practicing assistant district attorney. A victim of childhood abuse herself she finds herself dealing with issues too close to home. ................
People with an aversion to stories about child abuse, prostitution and trafficking may want to choose a different book. These topics are the heart of this book. The story is well told a unfortunately plausible. The characters are fleshed out and believable. ................ Therese Plummer does an exceptional job narrating. ................This book has my HIGHEST RECOMMENDATION. ..................If you found this review helpful please indicate so. .................. Thank You.

Excellent start to a new Thrilling Legal series...
