Shattered Justice is the second novel by Larry Hines and continues with his theme of delving into the dark side of our justice system. It is centered on a simple divorce that turned into a disaster because the case was assigned to the Honorable Jeffrey Ross, an incompetent and biased judge, whose weaknesses are ruthlessly exploited by the husband's lawyer, Peter Novak, who does not hesitate to leap over ehtical boundaries to insure victory. If you like a cliff-hanging story, a fast-paced legal drama of the John Grisham genre, and don't mind a few tears, this is a must read novel.
