OverviewIn Defense of the Righteous is a dark allegorical thriller that pulls readers deep beneath the surface of Levy Ridge, where missing children, a haunted detective, and a veteran scarred by war descend into a City that judges everyone it ensnares. Detective Dani Francis carries the weight of a tragic shooting from her past. Jake Tinsley, a veteran of combat, knows too well the futility of wars that never leave a soldier's mind. And Rally Gillum, restless and reckless, leads the younger ones into a labyrinth that feeds on guilt, memory, and choice, reminiscent of Dante's Inferno. In the City's quarters - the Market of Balances, the Temple of Absolutes, the Quarter of Shadows, the Labyrinth of Mirrors - justice is not blind. It is merciless, shifting, and alive. The Archivist records. The Enforcers march. The Deceiver waits in the Central Court. This is a story about innocence under siege and truth on trial. Every decision is weighed. Every past act returns. And no one leaves unchanged. In Defense of the Righteous is both a psychological descent and a gripping thriller - a journey through justice, from the righteous to the damned.
