MWSA Review
Justice by Joseph Badal is a well written story although the subject matter is horrific. All good mystery thrillers have twists, but Badal has created a new one during the attack in Nicaragua. Players from three continents act and interact in crime, corruption, and revenge seeking.
In this third book of the Curtis Chronicles, Matt’s wife and her friend are kidnapped by Matt’s fierce enemy, Lonnie Jackson. Matt and his former special ops friends join to attempt a rescue in the jungles of Costa Rica. A thrilling read.

Author's Synopsis
Amazon #1 Best-selling author, Joseph Badal, delivers Justice, the third in his Curtis Chronicles series, with the same relentless tension that is a trademark of his award-winning suspense novels.
In Justice, Matt and Renee Curtis return, along with their maniacal tormentor, Lonnie Jackson. On a trip to Costa Rica with their friends Esteban and Alani Maldonado, Matt and Renee believe they are beyond Jackson’s reach. They soon find out how wrong they are, however, when Jackson orchestrates the kidnapping of Renee and Alani and transports them to his human trafficking headquarters located in Nicaragua.
Matt and Esteban recruit former special operations soldiers living in Costa Rica to help them rescue their wives, sending readers on an action-packed journey.
As with all of Badal’s novels, Justice is a bold and complex thriller. It weaves an intricate plot involving multiple international locations, a human trafficking organization, the CIA, Special Operations, corrupt politicians, Bulgarian organized crime figures, Swiss bankers, and a compelling cast of engaging, inspiring, and diabolical characters.
The Curtis Chronicles is an epic series that delves into the age-old conflict between good and pure evil, where each book leaves you begging for more.
