An Older Kind Of Justice is a novel of suspense, drama, and an exploration of what happens when someone is pushed farther than they think they can handle.
Cassandra Wheeling has a successful career in high tech, a big house, a complicated modern life – and is desperately unhappy. She walks away from it to explore a new way of living, in a tiny house village with a bunch of misfits and oddballs. But instead of finding paradise, her life starts to skid off the rails until nothing is safe any more. When she is forced to look deep inside herself, it turns out that freedom and happiness might be much closer than she thought.
It was dark when Cass pulled into the gravel area in front of Johnny’s cabin. Not full-on dark, but that time when mystery starts to emerge, when different things are visible. Things that hide from daylight.

A.E. So tell me what inspired you to write Older Justice. Why this book? Why now?
A.B. We could have a long conversation about where ideas come from, but the shortest answer is, I created a scenario, put some characters in it, and watched what they did, what they said to each other. I did have some themes I wanted to explore, such as the idea that we think we know who we are, what our moral boundaries are, when everything is going great. But when we have our back against the wall, it’s new territory.
