RETRIBUTION: Book One of The Masterminds Series by L. A. Burch It's not just a story about crime; it’s a haunting exploration of the human soul under siege. L. A. Burch doesn’t simply craft a killer and detectives; she builds a psychological battlefield where morality, intellect, and instinct collide in unpredictable ways. What sets this book apart is its emotional precision. Sergeant Walter Rogers isn’t just a detective; he’s a man carrying the weight of his choices, a soldier whose battlefield has shifted but whose wounds are still fresh. Detective Ann Grace is more than a partner; she’s the embodiment of rationality in a case that grows increasingly irrational. Together, they’re not solving a case—they’re surviving it. Burch’s narrative is alive with tension, but the real magic lies in its quiet moments: the doubts, the resolve, and the slow unraveling of what it means to face an enemy who knows you better than you know yourself.

The author's experiences will inspire you to believe in the magic of life. It's like finding a hidden treasure chest full of hope, faith, and wonder.
