Osborne delivers a heart-pounding, whodunnit murder mystery! Emerson's Vietnam-era dual timeline will resonate with readers familiar with characters Harry Bosch or Walt Longmire. -Cam Torrens, author of the Tyler Zahn Mystery series
Aria Wright stumbles upon the body of Vietnam veteran Emerson. Unfortunately, the masked killer sees and threatens her.
Flash back to 1968: Young Emerson is shipped to Vietnam on the day of Martin Luther King Jr.'s assassination. Weeks later, a deadly encounter in Bangkok results in the murder of Emerson's best friend.
The perilous tale alternates between the troubled life of Emerson from 1968 through the present day and two propulsive and dangerous weeks in March 2024 as Aria and Jax try to solve the mysteries surrounding the murder.
How did Emerson go from veteran to junkie to volunteer at Aria's nonprofit? And how do the murders, separated by decades, intertwine? Pursuing answers, Aria and Jax find themselves being followed my strange men and pull together to survive. Will love blossom in the midst of terror?
Justice for Emerson, by award-winning author Karen E. Osborne, is a gripping murder mystery, with unexpected plot twists, compelling, well-developed characters, and a dash of romance. Themes of race, family, forgiveness, and redemption permeate while lifting the social issues of homelessness and hunger. Unlock and solve the mystery while rooting for Aria to find love.
