Product Description

Product Description

When Gina wakes up from a two-year coma, she realizes someone tried to kill her and make it look like suicide. Detective-in-training Lara Evans is assigned the case, but when she discovers who the main suspect is, she fears she’s in way over her head. Meanwhile Detective Jackson learns the man in prison for murdering his parents is innocent of the crime and another officer coerced the detainee into a confession. As the two investigators work the cold files, members of their own department come under suspicion and their cases begin to overlap. Can they find the killers before the crimes of the past explode in the present?

“DYING FOR JUSTICE is an amazing story! You’re caught up in the story from the very first sentence. The characters are so real that it’s like you know them. Every page brings something new and unexpected to the reader. Don’t miss this one!”—Fresh Fiction.com

“If you’re a fan of Sellers’ Detective Jackson series, don’t miss this—her best yet. Completely engrossing right to the very satisfying end.”—Robin Cain, author of When Dreams Bleed

“Every time I read a Detective Wade Jackson book, I say to myself, “Well she won’t be able to write one better than this…” and each time I begin to read the newest book in the series, I know I was wrong. The author has written one that is better than the last!” Fans of police procedurals will find the blend of mystery with suspense to be just right. The author, an award-winning journalist, knows how to write.”—OverMyDeadBody.com

“I finished the book in two sittings, thanks in part to a fast paced narrative and intelligent multi layered storyline, and was disappointed when it ended – simply due to the fact that I’ll have to wait a while for the next title to come my way! Dying for Justice is a superb example of how to deliver a police procedural.” Milo, BBC reviewer

“With each outing, Jackson gets better and better.”—Bookbitch.com

I had been waiting for this for a few months now, so when I heard the new book in the series was out I downloaded it straight away and couldn't put it down. I have not been disappointed - a really good story with a few unexpected twists and turns. The only bad thing about it is that I finished it already! Can't wait for the next one!!

By Lizzie Hayes TOP 1000 REVIEWER
Format:Paperback
Gina Stahl, opens her eyes but knows not where she is, all that comes instantly into her mind is `someone tried to kill me'.

When she comes to full consciousness she discovers that she is in a long-term care facility and has been in a coma for two years, following her suicide attempt. Although her brain is fuzzy Gina tells the police that she had not tried to commit suicide but that that she had been attacked by a man wearing a ski mask, and that she believes the man to be her ex-husband. But, her ex-husband is a police officer, so who will believe her.

The case is assigned to Detective Wade Jackson, who works with the violent crimes unit of the Eugene, Oregon Police Department. DI Wade has an excellent record of closing cases, but DI Wade is distracted by a letter received from Hector Vargas, the man accused, convicted and jailed for the murder of his parents, eleven years ago. Hector Vargas tells Jackson that he is innocent, and now that he is terminally ill with cancer he wants to set the record straight. Despite Jackson's skepticism he knows that he has to follow it up.

Jackson works both cases, but only manages it with the help of his 32-year-old trainee detective- Lara Evans. Soon Jackson finds himself in the unenviable position of suspecting other police officers. His re-opening and examining the circumstances surrounding his parents death brings him into contact with his brother with whom he has not seen for a number of years.

The story of both cases grips the reader, with the narrative alternating between Jackson and Lara Evans. I could not put this book down - a fine piece of plotting that had me hooked, and turning the pages eager to know if and how justice would be done for these two cold cases.

Highly recommended.

A darn good read 16 July 2011
By Freckles VINE™ VOICE
Format:Paperback
This was a darn good read. I was not familiar with L J Seller's previous books...this was fifth in a series....but that did not detract from my enjoyment of this one.

Detective Wade Jackson is a likeable character and all the other characters were well drawn and convincing. The plot was intriguing from the waking of a woman who has been in a coma for two years after an apparent suicide attempt, to Jackson re-examining the murders of his parents 11 years previously.

This was easy to read and a very pleasant surprise. I shall be searching for the earlier editions now.
