Caught up in the checkered past of her hero and mentor, Chief Justice Clayton Erlenborn, Beth must cunningly maneuver through a dangerous web of secrets, deception, and cold-blooded murder. Armed with only her moral compass and unflinching nerve, she’s up against a sinister world full of undercover agents, domestic terrorists, and black ops assassins—all of whom want her to comply or die.

With her career and her life on the line, Beth must race to uncover the truth before it’s too late.

From master storyteller James Patterson, The Justice is a fully immersive Audible Original thriller that takes spellbinding action to the highest court in the land.

James Patterson never disappoints. I loved that several characters stood by their principles against great obstacles.

But it does make one wonder - COULD there be corruption in the Supreme Court??? Let’s hope and pray not!
