Callie and Cash are back! For fans of Scott Turow, Lee Child & 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, incompatible team that faces down money launderers, weapons dealers, and professional hit men... while unraveling a conspiracy and ultimately saving her business and their own lives. In Rough Justice, Callie and Cash are back, and their now shared lives are about to be shaken to the core. It's been a year since they had to take on unexpected, lethal adversaries. Having lived through twists and turns, drama and life-threatening danger together... they realize they are wildly in love. The smooth sailing abruptly ends when a half-Algerian female guest, twenty-five-year-old Sara, appears at Callie's restaurant with a shocking, unbelievable story. Someone is trying to kill her, and they've stolen her identity. Desperate for Callie and Cash's help, she shares a stunning, life- changing secret. Called to action, Callie and Cash assemble their unconventional ragtag family-including peg- legged Andre, and Itzac, "The Macher." Together, they go to war with formidable adversaries to attempt to save Sara, putting their own lives on the line. The fierce, global battle leads to Cuba, where they launch an audacious offensive that's shocking even to themselves... 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.
