Runaway Justice (David Adams, 3)Paperback

What makes this series unique for me is that it describes a homeless community in a very entertaining format of a thriller. The fact that author had some personal experience with homeless people makes me believe that the pictures of homeless communities he presents are mostly true (although they seem almost too sugar coated at times). It is a third (and may be the best) book in the series but it may be read alone.

The plot is simple, easy to follow and very satisfactory. The good usually wins. Almost all characters are either good or bad which is also a nice change from some dark psychological thrillers. The main new character is 12 years old Parker, a homeless boy who witnessed a murder and became himself a target of a murderer. It is a little cliche idea but it works very well in this book, especially because Parker is extremely likable and surprisingly resourceful.

In short: very uplifting book

It’s hard enough being a 12 year old, now imagine being a 12-year-old who is on the run, has witnessed something very scary, and has people chasing after them. This is the third book in the David Adams series and it does not let you down. Chad Zunker is quickly becoming one of my new favorite authors. This is the fourth book that I have read by him and he continues to draw me in. This story has everything that you would want in it as a genuine, good legal thriller. I grow to like the character David Adams more and more, and I really love the inclusion of the “type “of clients that he works with. It makes the story that much more engaging for me. If you like legal thrillers give this author a try!
