Joshua West, a pediatric surgeon, had devoted his life to caring for children. Now, his nine-year-old daughter is raped and murdered. Where is justice?
Can the pursuit of justice go too far? The kidnapping, torture, rape, and murder of Dr. Joshua West’s nine-year-old daughter, Mattie, shatters his life. He lives for the capture, trial, conviction, and punishment of her killer. Fate, however, has its own grotesque form of justice—the killer’s release on a technicality, never to be tried again. A gripping story of a grieving father’s thirst for justice, Retribution exposes the hard truth about what happens when law fails the innocent and leads them down a dark path from which they may never return.
