Justice Served: Babies for Sale

by Edward David Lagarde, Karen Worstell Lagarde

Overview

How would it feel to be a gifted and talented beautiful teenager who spiraled to her demise?

How would it feel to be a single mother of twins who was declared unfit and lost her babies through a court system scam?

"Babies for Sale" will captivate you, cause tears, rage, and even a joyous vindictiveness when the unknown hero ensures Justice is Served.

The setting is colorful ... the 1960's, Liberty NY in the rural Catskill Mountains where many famous entertainers got their start, the parties, the motorcycles, the music, the murder scenes that look like accidents.

The characters are memorable ... the tragic young mother, a mercenary judge and her gang of a foster home parent, social services and an attorney with mafia connections. They are pursued by a debonair special investigator and a young passionate pro bono defense lawyer.

You will hold your breath during the over-the-top thrilling and terrorizing stalking and murder scenes. You will feel a sense of fervent gratification as the last bad guy gets Justice Served during a pink sunrise with the feeling that God could be watching and approving.

Watch for the next book in the Justice Served series, "It's Cheaper to Let Them Die," that chronicles how servicemen plan to retaliate against their unfair treatment by Washington bureaucrats.

Editorial Reviews

“Read the whole book in one night. Couldn’t put it down. Realistic – I’ve seen many young people with such promise become Samantha, but I didn’t really expect what happened to her. Got mad at John in the hospital bathroom … who could be that smart and that stupid. Couldn’t figure out who the killer is. An award-winning story.”

—Richard Winters, former Mayor, Liberty, New York

“The unusual introduction all came together at the end. Samantha’s father should have helped her in spite of tough love … that’s what families are for. Read the whole thing twice. On the plane coming back from Tahoe, couldn’t put my phone down even though it was a pain trying to find the pages where I left off. Then I read it again on my Kindle as soon as I got home.”

—Lynn Lippelt, administrator, Sullivan County Infirmary, New York

“OMG … Samantha … I know her in my heart. It feels like I’ve seen that courtroom. I just keep reading and reading and reading, putting all the clues together. I cried myself to sleep for Samantha last night.”

—Megan Andrews, barn wedding catering, Woodbourne, New York

“I know these people. I know these places. This is what our life is really like. I read lots of romance novels and Babies for Sale ranks right up there with them. I kept fitting everything together. I had to keep reading to find out what happened. This book kept me up at night.”

—Linda Bowers, horse owner, housewife, Hurleyville, New York
