An Equal Justice

Chad Zunker — 2019

Inside a prestigious law firm, a rookie lawyer is pulled into a dark maze of lies and violence. An ambitious Stanford graduate, David Adams has begun a fast-track career at Austin's most prestigious law firm. It's a personal victory for the rising superstar--a satisfying reversal from his impoverished and despairing childhood. Now he has the life he's always wanted: an extravagant salary, a high-rise condo, a luxury SUV, and no limit to how far he can go in the eyes of the top partners. But after the shocking suicide of a fellow associate--one who, in his final hours, offered David an ominous warning--he feels the pull of powerful forces behind the corporation's enviable trappings. The suicide leads unexpectedly to David's discovery of a secret enclave of the city's homeless, where he can't help but feel an affinity to these outcast souls. Nor can he ignore the feeling that they hold the key to the truth behind a dark conspiracy. When one of his new street friends is murdered, David's clear doubts about his employer start shifting into a dark reality. Now torn between two worlds, David must surrender all that he's achieved to fight for a larger cause of justice--and become his firm's most dangerous acquisition.

I came across this book randomly recently and decided to pick it up, and let me tell you, I am so glad that I did!! I absolutely love crime/mystery books so this was right up my alley! Firstly, I really really enjoyed the plot of this book. It was interesting, unique, and I had no clue what the end would result in, and for me, that’s very rare as I’m unusually good at guessing endings. I absolutely loved the mystery built into this book. I struggled to put this book down because I needed to see all the pieces being put together. I think the ending of this book was very satisfying, seeing all the different pieces of the puzzle finally coming together and seeing all being revealed. Secondly, I think the author did such an incredible job weaving in the matter of money not being a cause for your happiness, but what you do and the people you are surrounded by being the leading factor. I loved the different characters we got to know in this book from both ends of the wealth spectrum, and seeing how each group of people lived their lives and how it impacted their happiness. I really loved that although this was an incredible crime/mystery novel, it also held really incredible and important messages for the readers to delve into. Overall, I highly recommend An Equal Justice if you are a crime/mystery lover like myself. I will definitely be picking up the sequel when it is released next year!!
