Unbalanced

by John Foxjohn

Bryanne Hartford’s client killed two men in front of deputies and on video. But is she guilty?

Bryanne Hartford, a Houston criminal defense attorney, deplores any form of vigilante justice. However, she takes the case because of her disdain for the death penalty and her belief that her client is mentally incompetent.

Andrew Hurst, the newly elected district attorney in Lufkin, Texas, personally thinks the woman should get a medal for killing the two men, but he is duty-bound to prosecute her for the murders.

As moral and legal issues rip the town apart, the last thing either attorney needs is a romantic involvement, especially with each other. Love could never survive the turmoil in their lives, let alone the upcoming court battle—or could it?

About the author

The Pineywoods of East Texas have produced many things, including award winning and best-selling author John Foxjohn. A country boy at heart, Foxjohn often says, “I was born and raised so far back in the woods that they had to pump sunshine to us.” With little to do but hunt and fish, Foxjohn’s environment created an atmosphere that fostered imagination and dreams, something that Foxjohn would excel at.

At the tender age of seventeen, he quit high school and joined the army. Foxjohn’s six years would see him graduate from jump school, Ranger school, and become the youngest sergeant in peacetime army. A tour of Viet Nam and Germany highlighted an extremely successful stint for Foxjohn. After an honorable discharge, Foxjohn followed that up with ten years in law enforcement, including a long tour as a homicide detective. Fulfilling a promise to his dying mother, Foxjohn graduated from college and began a new adventure of teaching and coaching football.

Foxjohn had another of his childhood dreams left to accomplish. When he was twelve, he read a book about Crazy Horse. He said then that one day he would write a book about the fabled Lakota war chief. After retiring, Foxjohn became a writer, and the first book he wrote was an historical fiction titled The People’s Warrior: a book about Crazy Horse.

Now considered one of the rising stars in publishing, Foxjohn has published in six different genres, and readers worldwide clamor for his books. And yes, Foxjohn says he’s still dreaming.

[Kaitlin Tomlinson · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book was highly recommended to me by a friend...so much so I went and bought it, but it stayed on my reader for a while as I read others that I was more interested in.

I made a huge mistake. All those others books that I read before this one couldn't come close to being as good as Unbalanced. I sincerely loved this book. IT's one of those books that I will read over and over.

I'd never read anything from this author until I read his Killer Nurse. When I finished it, I went right to amazon and got this one. I simply couldn't believe how good it was. I love this author and going to get all of his books.

A friend recommended this book to me. She told me it was insanely good. I didn't know what that meant until I read Unbalanced. It really is insanely good. I'd never read anything from this author before but I am now ordering all of his books,
