Publisher Description
American Justice
The job of the U.S. Marshals includes: prisoner transport, witness protection, and fugitive apprehension.
From Deputy Jared Wright:
After losing my wife and child in a horrific incident while working with a special ops group, I went off the deep end for a few months. When I came to my senses, I realized I no longer wanted to protect witnesses, and I applied for a transfer from WITSEC to the Joint East Texas Fugitive Task Force. JETFTF specializes in capturing violent criminals. I got the job.
Working with local law enforcement agencies, JETFTF assists in taking, and keeping violent criminals off the streets.
Kyle Miller is a violent offender; raping, beating and leaving a college girl for dead, just outside of Tyler, TX. And he's been on the run for 18 months. It's time to find him and bring him to justice.
Assisting local detective, Emilie Saulet, we work to track Kyle down, and give his victim some sort of closure.
Meanwhile, his victim, Carrie Pemberton is working on recovering mentally and physically from her brutal attack. Trying to find a way back to her old self and get Kyle Miller out of her head.
I'm determined to catch this monster and prove to my commander that I deserve to be a part of the fugitive apprehension task force. And I'm determined to get justice for Carrie Pemberton.
Join Detective Saulet, the men and women of the JETFTF, and me, as we track down this fugitive and work to bring him to justice.

Engaging
Great book!!!!
Solid Crime Novel with a touch of surprise
American Justice provided me with so much pleasure. I didn’t want to put it down but I parceled it out in small bits so the enjoyment would last. Jared Wright has some changing to do after wallowing in the loss of his wife and child. Emilie is a cop in a bad marriage who needs help from the US Marshals to accomplish her mission. Together they pair with local law enforcement in small town Deep South to bring in a fugitive. Strong women are showcased but Jared’s story is captivating and makes one eager for the next book in this series.
I always enjoy Jamie Lee Scott’s books and this first in a new series did not disappoint. Jamie’s strong character development shines here and her knowledge of human frailties makes her characters real. This book’s finale is definitely unexpected. This is a fresh approach that makes you long for more.
American Justice
Jamie Lee Scott has done it again. American Justice I the first book in a new series. She develops the main characters and exposes their flaws and weaknesses and develop them into powerful strengths. The characters: federal officer, Jared Wright, detective Emelie Saulet and victim Carrie Pemberton, work together to bring their unique abilities and solve the crime. Once started I couldn’t put this book down. I would definitely put this on a must read list and hope their are many more to come.
