Out of Court Settlement
When justice
stops feeling just.
A respected magistrate. A criminal justice system she no longer trusts. And a question that refuses to go away: what happens when playing by the rules no longer feels like justice?
The story
Circe Byrne has had enough.
Circe has spent years watching the criminal justice system at work, and becoming increasingly convinced that the people it fails most badly are its victims.
When one offender too many walks away, she begins to wonder what justice might look like if someone stopped playing by the rules.
Meanwhile, DS Lorcan O'Leary has problems of his own. Their paths are about to cross in ways neither of them expects.
“It's one thing to say, 'I could kill all the bastards!' It's quite another to do it.”
Out of Court Settlement
Darkly funny, character-led crime fiction about justice, consequences and what people are capable of when pushed far enough.
