Detective Inspector Tessa Grantley

The Detective Inspector Tessa Grantley trilogy – Still-Death, Honor Role, and Intent delve into our notion of justice, both how it is served and how it is delivered.  In so doing, these books expose the limitations and imperfections of justice in a democratic, rules-based society. 

As all of us know, at times society is unable to provide justice.  Living among us are culprits who elude punishment due to a lack or insufficiency of evidence.  Our system is imperfect, as are we as human beings.  Still, this sputtering often maddening legal system of ours remains, at least to date, better than any alternative.

Unwillingly, Detective Inspector Grantley, finds herself facing the occasional miscarriage of justice.  In rare circumstances, she does something about it.  

She corrects mistakes.  She erases flaws.  She protects.  She serves.  And all along, she solves fascinating crimes.

Who is DI Tessa Grantley to play God?  That is the question.
