Justice

Amazon #1 Best-Selling author Joseph Badal presents the third in his Curtis Chronicles series with the same relentless tension that is a trademark of his award-winning suspense novels.

In “Justice,” Matt and Renee Curtis return, along with their maniacal tormentor, Lonnie Jackson. On a trip to Costa Rica with their friends Esteban and Alani Maldonado, Matt and Renee believe they are beyond Jackson’s reach. But Jackson orchestrates the kidnapping of Renee and Alani and transports them to his human trafficking headquarters in Nicaragua.

Matt and Esteban recruit former special operations soldiers living in Costa Rica to help them rescue their wives.

As with all Badal’s novels, “Justice” is a bold and complex thriller that weaves an intricate plot involving an international human trafficking organization, the CIA, Washington, D.C. political leaders, corrupt Central American politicians, Bulgarian organized crime figures, and a compelling cast of engaging, inspiring, and diabolical characters.

The Curtis Chronicles saga is an epic series into the age-old conflict between good and evil and will have you begging for more.

 

REVIEWS

“ ‘Justice’ is a supremely harrowing, cat-and-mouse game of a tale carved out of the newly dangerous grounds of South America with human trafficking forming the backdrop. Joseph Badal’s sterling and effective latest once again serves up the stalwart team of Matt and Renee Curtis who find themselves up against a devilish foe determined to destroy them at all costs. This is action-adventure writing of the highest order, reminiscent of the epic tales of Wilbur Smith and Frederick Forsyth. ‘Justice’ is a gut-punch of a thriller, packing a wallop Badal dispenses with a strong and seasoned hand.”
--Jon Land, USA Today Bestselling Author of the Murder, She Wrote Series

" ‘Natural Causes’ by Joseph Badal is a first-rate thriller, a powerhouse of a story that will keep you turning the pages into the wee hours. The pacing is relentless, with a sense of menace that grows almost unbearable. Lassiter and Martinez are two homicide detectives for the ages. I loved it!
