Benjamin Justice, a disgraced journalist in his mid-forties, is slowly putting his life back together. Under contract to write his tumultuous life story, Justice is trying to put all the elements of his life into perspective for the first time. When trying to locate his childhood priest, however, he runs into a bureaucratic stone wall. Then his best friend's fiance, a Lost Angeles Times columnist, is killed in a tragic and suspicious hit-and-run accident shortly after trying to aid Justice in his search. Reluctant at first, Justice soon finds himself in the midst of a complex case involving a decades-old child murder, a powerful and controversial cardinal, and elements of his own dark past.

Critical Praise for John Morgan Wilson

"With it's vivid dissection of Los Angeles' low life and intriguing characters, you may find it tough to put down."
- People (Beach Book of the Week) on Simple Justice

"A winner...a series as addictive as Sue Grafton's, James Lee Burke's or Patricia Cornwell's."
- USA Today on The Limits of Justice

"Startling complex and refreshingly sophisticated...just the right combination of urbanity and hard-boiled sleuthing."
- Publishers Weekly (starred review) on Justice at Risk

"Politically pungent, exactly observed, and conceding little comfort, Wilson is heir to the shockingly unsentimental vision of Patricia Highsmith."
- Out on Simple Justice

"A tightly paced page turner...a must read for all serious mystery fans."
- Booklist (starred review) on Revision of Justice

"Wilson writes with such skill, pluck, and conviction that it becomes both suspenseful and moving."
- Washington Post on Simple Justice
