The True Administration of Justice is the Firmest Pillar of Good Government Inscription on the portico of the New York County Courthouse in Lower Manhattan All killers believe their actions are justified the exact moment they pull the trigger no matter what side of the law they are on. Juries are charged to mete out justice, but sometimes, a cop must take justice into his own hands. Justifiable Homicide, by BJ Whalen is a gripping tale of what can happen when the government fails to administer true justice. When justice is sacrificed for the sake of political expedience, NYPD Narcotics Sergeant Frank Gennaro and his beautiful rookie partner, Police Officer Marie Rinaldi are forced to disavow their oaths of office after Eduardo Noscar, a notorious Colombian drug lord incarcerated in an upstate jail, dispatches his country's most deadly assassin to New York City to kill the mayor and Sergeant Gennaro's brother, William Gennaro. At first the officers want justice, but as they discover more about the murder than the government wants to acknowledge, justice takes a backseat to revenge. Justifiable Homicide takes the reader from the drug ridden streets of the South Bronx to Alphabet City, from Roosevelt Avenue to Roosevelt Island, from One Police Plaza to a police station in Rouses Point, New York, from Sheepshead Bay to the East River, from Flushing Meadow Park to a French Restaurant in Montreal, from City Island to City Hall. It is a riveting police procedural/thriller like no other.
