A Kind of Justice: A Novel

"Against all odds, Bobbi Logan, a statuesque transgender woman, has become one of Chicago's most celebrated hair stylists and the owner of one of the city's poshest salons. She is finally comfortable with who she is, widely admired in her community, about to enjoy the success she deserves. Then her impossibly perfect life falls apart. In the space of a few weeks, the Great Recession drags her business to the brink of failure, her beloved ex-wife needs help in facing a terrible tragedy, and a hateful police detective storms back into her life, determined to convict her of the five-year-old murder of John Strand-- pillar of the community-- and a sexual predator. As the detective builds an ever more convincing case against her, both of them will be shaken by revelations about themselves, about their own deeply held secrets, and about the bizarre ritual murder of John Strand."--
