Top assassin Graham Turner walks a delicate line as he tries to secretly solve the mystery of his parents’ “accidental” deaths. The truth is buried deep within a child’s forgotten past and an organization that demands secrecy and absolute devotion. His main obstacle is William Allen, Graham’s boss and legal guardian. A master of manipulation and control, William pits Graham and his brother Robert against one another like pawns on a chessboard. William’s idea of justice is kill or be killed.
Just as Graham discovers the identity of his parents’ murderer and sets out to exact his revenge, he falls in love and develops a conscience. Graham must choose between love or loyalty, forgiveness or revenge. In a world of gray, Graham must find the line between black and white, wrong and right.
Follow the parallel stories of Graham and his father, two assassins who become their own worst enemies.
A repressed memory holds the key to unlocking the past for a top killer for hire, threatening to change everything.
Author Mitchell S Karnes delivers an intriguing story in Scales of Justice. It’s unusual to root for the bad guy, but in this case, Graham Turner is the lesser of the two evils.
His identity has been crafted by his boss and legal guardian, William. When Graham and his brother, Robert, are pitted against each other in a brutal standoff, Graham knows William has gone too far.
As he gets glimpses of his childhood, a dual storyline unfolds featuring Graham’s late father. All the pieces start falling into place, forcing Graham to question everything.
Although the cover image lacks appeal, the story provides an intense adventure full of murder and mayhem.
Scales of Justice ultimately is a story of a man who is used to delivering his own type of justice and struggles with charting a new path.
Mitchell S Karnes is a husband, father of seven, and grandfather of nine. Mitchell uses his experience and insights as a minister, counselor, and educator to write and speak on challenging issues and concerns with an ever-growing audience. He has published five novels, three short stories, a one-act play, and numerous Bible study lessons. He is now working on a new series featuring Abbey Rhodes, a Nashville Homicide Detective.
Through two separate battles against Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma, God has given Mitchell a new perspective on life that challenges him to create stories to not only entertain audiences but call them to action. Mitchell‘s mission is to reach and reconcile those who have been disillusioned with God and His church and inspire the church to live out the love of Christ Jesus in a broken and hurting world.
