Callie and Cash are back! For fans of Scott Turow, Lee Child, and Raymond Chandler.
“When you get out of jail, don’t ever come back here.”
Callie James thought those were the last words she’d ever speak to Cash Logan. Two years later, in Danger in Plain Sight, Callie and Cash become an improbable team taking on lethal adversaries.
Now, in Rough Justice, Callie and Cash are back, and their world is about to explode. It’s been a year since they saved her ex-husband’s life and faced unexpected, terrifying adversaries. During that process—confronting kidnapping, murder, and the destruction of her restaurant—they came together, and against all odds, fell passionately in love.
The smooth sailing abruptly ends when Sara, a twenty-five-year-old, half-Algerian woman, unexpectedly shows up at the restaurant and insists on telling them her shocking, unbelievable story. Someone has stolen her identity, and they’re trying to kill her. Sara needs their help now, and she has a stunning, life-changing secret to tell.
Again, Cash and Callie assemble their unconventional ragtag family—including peg-legged Andre, and Itzac, “the Macher.” Together, they go to war with formidable adversaries to save Sara and ultimately their own lives. The fierce global battle leads them to Cuba, where they launch an audacious offensive that shocks even them…and will absolutely take your breath away.
With Rough Justice, Burt Weissbourd elevates not only his deeply rich and complex characters, but the entire thriller genre.
Inexplicably, Cash has become troubled, depressed, irrationally angry with his friends, and worried unaccountably about the safety of his daughter and grandson. Callie suggests he see Abe Stein, the therapist who helped her son, Lew.
Reluctantly, Cash agrees, and the two men begin to explore his largely forgotten past—particularly the story of his parents, who died in a car accident when he was seven. They examine his distant memories, his barely recalled dreams, his feelings about the daughter he didn’t know until she was twenty-five, having a new grandson. It appears that there is some basis for his depression, his irrational anger, but something does not fit.
As the horrors from his past come alive in the present, Cash and Callie must assemble their most trusted allies: Andre, a prosthetic-legged Afro-Caribbean mercenary; Itzac, the “Macher,” perhaps the largest diamond traders in the world; Seattle Detective Ed Samter, a proven partner; and now Abe. Therapy raised dormant, burning issues from his past, but nothing has prepared Cash for the enemy he’s about to face in Out of the Past, the exciting third Callie and Cash thriller… This time, he must take on the unthinkable…
