From the Edgar Award-Winning author ofJustice at Risk For ex-reporter Benjamin Justice life has hit rock bottom — HIV positive, no job, no hope, no future. Then a young woman comes to his door with a handsome job offer — to ghostwrite a payback book. Someone has written a bio attacking her father, the late Rod Preston, a onetime Hollywood hunk. Rod was not all he seemed on the big screen — or so says the sleazy bio. The actor is linked to a shadowy world of powerful men, sinister show more perversion, and blood-chilling crimes so shocking, they give Justice a reason to fight the good fight once again. But no sooner has Justice cashed his advance check than Rod's loyal daughter unexpectedly turns up dead in her bedroom, a needle in her arm. The authorities rule her death a suicide, but Justice knows there's more to the story. Armed only with rumor and circumstantial evidence, Justice goes looking for the truth and discovers that the secrets he seeks lie hidden behind a web of deadly games and unspeakable depravity. To uncover them Justice may have to risk not just his life but his soul.... show lessTags

Limits' plot is centered around a ring of pedophiles who pick up young illegal immigrants boys and pass them around. Justice runs smack into their business when he's asked to write a tell all book by the daughter of a deceased movie star about the movie star's biographer. She turns up dead the next day and of course, the movie star was nothing like his daughter thought. It's well written, well paced, a page turner but also it's a very cold account of the way some of us live, the way our society fails to protect its most vulnerable members what ever their age.
Ben sure knows how to put himself in the middle of things. This is becoming a very bad habit.
