Certain Justice by John Lescroart

In A Certain Justice, bestselling author John Lescroart delivers a masterful and morally complex thriller that asks how far people will go when justice fails.

When a hate crime erupts into a deadly riot in San Francisco, a young black man named Joe Avery becomes a symbol of injustice and outrage. As the city descends into chaos, prosecutor Dismas Hardy and detective Abe Glitsky find themselves on opposite sides of a case that threatens their friendship and careers.

The lines between law, revenge, and justice blur as Lescroart explores themes of racial tension, corruption, and the human cost of retribution. Suspenseful, intelligent, and deeply thought-provoking, A Certain Justice cements Lescroart’s reputation as one of America’s most compelling legal thriller writers.
