"Since the mysterious death of her father, a NYC cop, Assistant District Attorney Kate Stone has fought against injustice in New York City. Now with no one to turn to, Kate blows off steam with martial arts and whatever bourbon happens to be on hand that night. When she can't imagine that life could get any darker, she's proven wrong as she argues a case against Max James, a serial assaulter of women. It's a case she desperately wants to win. Only the defense attorneys are too well paid and clearly too well liked by the judge so James walks free. When he confronts her outside the courthouse, it's all the impetus she needs. Within seconds, she punches James, and he goes down . . . hard. But after the footage is plastered across every screen, Kate's boss demands that she either attend anger management meetings or walk away from her job. Begrudgingly, Kate attends her first meeting. Inside is a group of people from all walks of life-a sex addict, a gambler, and an ex military member all wronged by a rigged justice system. Their mission: To do everything in their power to help right wrongs, even if outside the law. Kate turns the offer to join down immediately because a team of wannabe Batmen (and women) are not going to solve this problem. However, she changes her mind when Max James appears on the news again so soon the victim refusing to press charges and Kate has no other option. At home with these misfits, it's almost like they're the family that she's been missing since her dad died. But secrets lurk within the shadows of the group, and when Kate begins to dig into her father's death, she unknowingly ignites a battle that will rage across the city that never sleeps"… (más)

#FirstLine ~ The hanging overhead lights cast a greenish tint on the face of the jury foreperson as she passed the verdict form to the bailiff.

This was a great legal thriller that kept me engaged cover to cover. I loved that this story surrounds a less than perfect main female character who is forced to face her flaws and learn to tackle her demons. You will find that this story is unusual and original in all the right ways and places. You are left hanging at the end of this novel, which means a second is coming. A great read and a series that I will continue with! ( )

This book reminded me of my first ride on a water slide: fast, intense, and thrilling.

Renegade by Nancy Allen is the first book in her Anonymous Justice series. For sure, I will be looking for the next book in this series. I absolutely loved the protagonist, Kate Stone. She’s such a mix of contradicting emotions and values that all come together to create an interesting and lovable character.

Kate is far from perfect and when a video shows her losing her temper and punching a despicable criminal, she ends up encountering a group of people who have themselves been on the losing side of justice instead of the anger management group her boss ordered her to attend.

Imagine that as the moment you push off from the top of the water slide. It’s all bumps, valleys, and fast curves to the end.

This is one of the best legal thrillers I’ve read. Difficult decisions confront Kate on every side. She has to question everything as events in her life ricochet off the sides of the water slide, as it were, making it hard for her to detect the secrets that surround her and who to trust.

I love a character that, in the beginning, isn’t the most likable person but still draws you to her side. Despite her flaws, she has a lot of heart and her intentions are good. The story ends with a hook. So look for more to come in Author Nancy Allen’s Anonymous Justice series.
