The Injustice of Valor - Valorie Dawes Thrillers 6

Formats: E-Book, Paperback, Large print

Ages: 18+

When the cops and courts fail, The Redeemer exacts his own form of justice.

When the bodies of freed sex offenders turn up with increasing regularity in western Connecticut, the Clayton Police Department responds with a disinterested yawn.

Second-year cop Val Dawes doesn't share the department's apparent indifference to the trend of vigilante justice. But her warnings fall on deaf ears, especially after her jealous rivals in the department get her suspended on a bogus assault charge.

Then her best friend in the department, a trans woman named Shelby, goes missing under suspicious circumstances.

And The Redeemer won’t rest until he’s extinguished the threat of any and all perversions—like Shelby.

Can Val find her friend before she, too, falls victim to a deranged vigilante?

Reviews

Briar's Reviews

The Injustice of Valor is a fast-paced, sometimes shocking thriller that exposes the darker corners of the human psyche. Valorie Dawes is an exemplary police officer—even if she is also her own worst enemy at times—but she once again finds herself going it almost alone as she hunts for the Redeemer. There’s a real sense of peril as the story progresses and an increasing number of characters facing deadly danger. While faith in Dawes’a abilities never wanes, it sometimes seems doubtful that she will overcome all the obstacles stacked against her in the hunt for the truth.
