Rough Justice by Burt Weissbourd [e-book]

In Danger in Plain Sight, Callie James had Cash Logan arrested when she discovered he was smuggling erotic ivory carvings into her restaurant. She told him never to return. But two years later, when her ex-husband—an investigative journalist—was nearly killed, Cash became her only hope. Against all odds, Callie and Cash joined forces, saved her ex, and survived a deadly conspiracy that changed everything.

Now, in Rough Justice, Callie and Cash are back, and so is danger.

It’s been a year since the chaos that bound them together—and pulled them into a love neither expected. They've finally found peace and passion…until a mysterious young woman named Sara walks into The Bronze Pig with a harrowing story. Someone has stolen her identity. Someone wants her dead. And she’s carrying a secret that will upend everything.

Callie and Cash don’t hesitate. Alongside their loyal, eccentric crew—including the indomitable Andre and the enigmatic fixer Itzac “The Macher”—they’re drawn into a new, high-stakes mission. From Seattle to the streets of Havana, Rough Justice propels this unlikely team into a daring battle for truth, justice, and survival.

With razor-sharp twists, heart-pounding suspense, and a love story that burns through the pages, Rough Justice delivers a thrilling new chapter in the unforgettable saga of Callie James and Cash Logan.

Praise for Burt Weissbourd

“These books transcend the expectations of genre fiction to become literature.”

—Jacob Epstein, writer and executive story editor of Hill Street Blues, and writer of LA Law

“Weissbourd’s writing reminds me of the great Raymond Chandler mysteries.”

—John McCaffrey, KGB Bar Lit Mag

“One of the most accomplished elements of this highly entertaining novel is the way that the action hinges on the emotional and interpersonal arc of the story rather than the plot twists themselves…it’s Callie’s relationships with the central figures, particularly Cash…that give the story its realistic and heart-stopping impact.”

—Readers’ Favorite

“His skill as a writer is obvious and there’s a level of polish present in these pages you don’t find with less experienced authors…Danger in Plain Sight sets the stage well for Burt Weissbourd to have an impressive run with this character, and he will undoubtedly attract a growing audience with each new additional entry in the series.”

—Hollywood Digest

“Weissbourd delivers a polished page-turner about terrorism, money laundering, and the price of sins rooted in avarice…Tart dialogue, explosive set pieces, and a dexterous narrative style that favors velocity over exposition add to the book’s appeal…Thrillers may be a dime a dozen, but memorable characters deserve a longer half-life, so here’s hoping Callie and Cash make a welcome return soon.”

—BlueInk Review

“A Woman gets in touch with her inner action hero in this bracing thriller…as one character toasts, ‘Bravo, Callie James.’”

—Kirkus Reviews

“An inventive thriller whose unconventional heroine learns how to live again.”
