WAYNESVILLE, N.C. - ncarol.com -- About the Book

Private Detective Miles Darien is haunted by the escape of crime boss Jonathan Reese whose loan sharking operation had victimized numerous "clients" who were unable to pay off their loans. One of those victims was Miles' friend Olivia Sims.

Miles and the FBI had set up an elaborate sting to bring down Reese's operation. The sting was successful except Reese had evaded the trap Miles and the FBI had set up to capture him. Months later on another case, the FBI learns that Reese has set up shop in Mexico. Miles jumps at the chance to finally bring Reese to justice. When he and his journalist friend Ryan come up empty in their search, Miles makes a risky and dangerous choice. He asks the local Mexican cartel for help. He explains to them that taking over Reese's operation would be a most fair bounty for helping to locate him. When the cartel finally agrees to assist, they provide an unexpected location, Reese is operating out of a villa in Havana.

Justified Malice 5-Star Review
by Alma Boucher for Readers' Favorite
Justified Malice by Harry Pinkus is an excellent thriller. I was intrigued from the first page until the end. It was fast-paced and action-packed. The events were descriptive and easy to visualize. With all the twists and turns, I never knew what to expect next. The suspense kept me on the edge of my seat. I could not put it down and turned the pages as fast as I could. The characters were well-developed. The story was excellently written, and I was guessing until the very end. It was much more than I expected and exceeded my reader expectations by far.
