A Kind of Justice

When is justice really served?

Against all odds, Bobbi Logan, a statuesque transgender woman, has become one of Chicago's most celebrated hairstylists and the owner of one of the city's poshest salons. She is finally comfortable with who she is, widely admired in her community, about to enjoy the success she deserves.

Then her impossibly perfect life falls apart.

In the space of a few weeks, the Great Recession drags her business to the brink of failure, her beloved ex-wife needs help in facing a terrible tragedy, and a hateful police detective storms back into her life, determined to convict her of the five-year-old murder of John Strand--pillar of the community ... and a sexual predator. As the detective builds an ever more convincing case against her, both of them will be shaken by revelations--about themselves, about their own deeply held secrets, and about the bizarre ritual murder of John Strand.

Seven Suspects

"You've most likely never met a narrator like Bobbi. Tough, tender, funny, full of heart―and a transgender woman."―Jodi Picoult

Bobbi Logan is a successful businesswoman and a celebrated hairdresser. She is a witty, articulate woman who has survived rape, gender transition, a murder investigation, and countless acts of bullying and bigotry to get where she is--and she's made enemies along the way. Now one of them is stalking her. With each passing day, the threats become more brazen, more violent, and more personal. No one knows who here stalker is or why he's after her, but he's getting closer every day.

Bobbi is intimidated but she has vowed to never be the victim again. She accumulates a list of six suspects, and with courage and persistence, she hunts them down, one by one--stalking her possible stalkers. But as she confronts those men who may want to do her harm, the number seven keeps haunting her--there must be a seventh suspect.

And when she finds him, Bobbi's world implodes.
