For Sergeant David Griffin, a "peacetime" Marine, Beirut was a chance to prove himself capable to the generation of Marines who had been blooded in the Vietnam War.

Officer Justice is still alive and killing in book three. His undeserved heartache fuels his hatred of predators like never before. In A Bloody Broken Heart, Officer Justice shares the crushing pain of betrayal he experienced as a young vigilante. Lost love drove Justice to the edge and criminals paid for his suffering, with their lives. This manuscript was delivered anonymously to Robert Lawrence, as were Justice's two prior memoirs. The book is not for the "faint of heart", as the unexpected death is shocking, but necessary, according to Officer Justice.

The manuscript details the killing of four people, two of whom were on probation. He alleges that he became disgusted with the failures of the criminal justice system and took it upon himself to impose justice. Officer Justice writes that he had access to probation case files containing confidential information, including criminal histories and home addresses.

The call comes at midnight. It looks like a tragic and petty murder - a rising star in San Francisco's legal firmament found shot in a dark alley. But for homicide lieutenant Abe Glitsky, the crime cuts horribly close to home - unknown to anyone, the victim was his daughter. Seething, Glitsky leans hard on his only suspect - a homeless heroin addict found lingering over his daughter's body, with her jewelry in his pocket and a smoking gun in his hand.
