About the Book Justice at Dawn

Book: Justice at Dawn

Author: Valerie Massey Goree

Genre: Christian Romantic Suspense

Release date: July 3, 2021

Cooper Callahan has been an International Retrieval Organization operative for fifteen years. In all that time he has never worked with a trainee like Kitty Claire Briggs. Overflowing with energy, KC isn’t quiet long enough for Cooper to think. But when the boss assigns them a training mission, KC’s serious side emerges.

Former stunt double, KC Briggs wants to be an agent, but she also has an ulterior motive to be accepted by IRO—she wants access to their superior technology. Can she locate her quarry without Cooper finding out?

As Cooper shares the finer points of surveillance with KC, his waning faith is strengthened by her enthusiasm for the Lord and for the job. When the training exercise turns into a real abduction, will KC’s naivete lead to death or to a successful conclusion to the case?

My Thoughts on Justice at Dawn

This book is part of a series.  Please do yourself a favor and enjoy the entire series in order!  I know I say this a lot but series really are better if you read them in order.  You get to know the characters how the author wants you to and you just get a better feel for the author and the characters.  That said, you could read this as a stand-alone if you really wanted to.  But trust me when I say you don’t. 

I love a good mystery.  Really the suspense mystery is my favorite.  This is one of those types of books with a good dose of some romance and secrets thrown in for good measure.  

The book does start at a slower pace and it’s more gentle but then it picks up speed and you’re not going to be able to put it down as you get to know KC and Cooper and as you get into the search for Sadie and her family.  Trust me when I say you can’t put it down.  

KC is a hoot of a character.  Part of her reminds me of one of my daughters.  The part that can’t stop talking and be quiet long enough for you to think or even teach anything!  I’m sure that annoyed Cooper.  Sometimes I start to feel annoyed but then I actually truly listen to my daughter and those are some of my greatest treasures in the end.  

I hope you grab a copy of this book and the entire series.  If you do please come back and tell me what you thought!  There are some good plot twists too so keep your eyes peeled.

More from Valerie

Justice at Dawn is the third novel in the Stolen Lives Trilogy. I knew I wanted to tell Cooper Callahan’s story after his brief appearance in Day of Reckoning, the second novel. How did he get his scar? Why was he one-track-minded in his work? Why was he single?

It is always exciting to invent a backstory for a character. To uncover his fears, his shattered dreams, his greatest desire for the future, and discover how those events shaped his personality and his present life. Cooper takes his role as the chief training officer for the San Diego branch of the International Retrieval Organization very seriously. He tells the newest recruit, “It’s my job to ascertain your skills, and to determine whether or not you’ll make an effective agent.”

Of course, I had to create a heroine worthy of Cooper’s attention. No petite, helpless, always concerned about her perfect makeup partner for Coop. My heroine in Justice at Dawn is anything but petite or helpless. In Kitty Claire Briggs’s own words, she is not a run-of-the-mill gal, and after describing her unique backstory, she says, “That’s why I grab life by its pointy little ears, and I intend to make the most of every opportunity.”

Indeed.

How will Cooper react if he discovers the real reason KC wants to become an IRO agent? Will the skills she used in her former job as a stunt double and the fact she is a sharp-shooter play a part in her training?

Now, don’t get me wrong, KC is vulnerable and has issues from her past she has to conquer, but she is the perfect foil for Cooper. She absorbs his advice, but also uses her initiative and even challenges Cooper at times. He might be teaching her the finer points of becoming a successful agent, but she teaches him how to overcome his past baggage and to live life to its fullest.
