Criminal Justice. A careless bureaucrat has unjustly removed Virgil and Rhonda Thwait’s two small children from their custody. A series of mishaps makes the mistake final and they are given up to adoptive parents. The stress drives the Thwaits apart and costs them their marriage, home, and business. Realizing that the law will not help her and that she will never see her babies again, Rhonda devises her own brand of justice. Working outside the system, she finally achieves Criminal Justice. Review Criminal Justice is about how a woman fought back and saved her sanity. Through no fault of her own, Rhonda Thwait lost everything – children, husband, home, and business. Out of the wreck she saved only her sanity. When she realizes her situation is hopeless, she sets out to destroy the social worker who set in motion the horrendous injustice that eventually caused her losses. With almost no resources, she cleverly stalks her prey using the Internet and several technological gadgets. She also invokes the martial arts trick of using her enemy’s strength to her own advantage. This is a morality tale of arrogance run amok. An exciting page-turner. Reviewed by Ruby Doyle.
