| Abstract |
"Justice by another name tells the story of Paul Reavis's suspicious workplace death, followed a year later by the senseless death of his young son, Paulie. Lana Reavis, who believes her husband was murdered and her son the victim of deliberate negligence, enlists the aid of her long-ago boyfriend, Will Moser, the chief deputy of Hogg County [North Carolina] and the heir apparent to the local sheriff. As Will's investigation unfolds, suspicious activities and cover-ups begin to emerge. All evidence points to Oris Martin, the poweful owner of Martin Farms, a huge hog-production enterprise and Hogg County's largest employer, as the mastermind. Despite political pressure and physical threats to look the other way, Will continues his search for what really happened. Meanwhile, Lana, convinced that Oris Martin is beyond the reach of justice, devises a plan to avenge her family and destroy everything precious to Oris."--Dust jacket flap. |
