Adrenaline-Fueled ride

Author Alan Brenham stays true to his writings of strong female characters in this thrill ride through “Price of Justice.” However, the tough Dani Mueller takes more of a supporting role as newly single father, Jason Scarsdale, navigates the murder of a child pedophile.

No reader is mourning the death of recently acquitted, but seemingly guilty, Scott Lasiter. However, Dani Mueller, previously Karla Engel, has some experience with child molesters and murderers being set free, sitting in the back of the court room as justice once again seems to fail a grieving mother. Mueller, no stranger to taking matters into her own hands, is determined to serve Lasiter justice. But it would seem someone has beat her to it.

What follows is an adrenaline-fueled investigation as Austin Police Detective Jason Scarsdale navigates a web of pedophiles, murderers, and single fatherhood. As Dani becomes ever closer to Shannon Scarsdale, she worries her past will muddy the personal life of Shannon’s father, Jason, but she also needs to ensure the spotlight is off her in his most recent sex crimes, turned homicide, case. What neither of them braced for was the depth, feelings, and web of lies this case would uncover.

Kicking off this series, “Price of Justice” gives readers Jason at his lowest, fresh off the loss of his wife and deep in the midst of a truly appalling case. Brenham is unafraid to question the wheels of justice, right and wrong, and the nuanced complexities of real-life characters as The Jason Scarsdale Series promises to be an exceptional ride.
