Ultimate Justice

About the Book

Grant Franklin is a divorced father of two girls, living in Sacramento, California. As a sales manager for a major sporting goods manufacturer, he travels the eleven western states to make a living. While on a trip across northern Nevada, he is informed via a phone call from the Sacramento Police Department, that his ex-wife and eldest daughter have been murdered in their beds by apparent burglars. His youngest daughter clings to life in a Sacramento hospital.

The police catch the two directly responsible for the deaths, but due to an overzealous cop, the two are released because of an illegal search. The next morning, the two killers are found executed in a burned out car. The police seem to be unable to move on the case any further, so Grant, with the help of his old Navy buddy, and current Navy SEAL, Ron Mize, decide to take a shot at finding those responsible for the deaths of his ex-wife and daughter.

When his youngest daughter recognizes a face on the front page of a newspaper during her recovery from her injuries, the search is on. It takes them from the artsy crowd of San Francisco, to the state capital in Sacramento, where deals are brokered for millions of dollars. From the big business in California, to a respected state senator, they rush headlong toward the answers, culminating in a confrontation in the sky over the Nevada desert.
