Justice for Elizabeth is K. L. Dempsey's newest thriller, which once again points out his unique talent for creating and defining his characters. The novel illuminates the dark corners faced by a smalltown lawyer Luke Black, whose modest goals in life are defined by his annual three resolutions: That he will continue his long-term effort to destroy the popular belief that all lawyers are necessarily dishonest. That his net worth will reach his projected $6 million by the end of the year. That he will continue to elevate his search for Miss Perfect. The novel begins with the tragic kidnapping of a loving daughter while she was attempting to assist her parents with the payment of a routine bill. With a network of unlikely colleagues providing help along the way, Luke Black involves himself in the cat-and-mouse game of finding the reasons behind the kidnapping and hopeful return of this beloved daughter to her parents. What he finds along the way is that using all his skills have not prepared him for the most challenging case he has ever accepted. Readers will once again find a thriller that blends crime and suspense with romance.
