Court Of Equalization

Justice failed them.
The victims are left with only one question: What now?

In Court of Equalization, Cook County prosecutor John Driver is unraveling after the brutal murder of his wife and children. When his own office fails to hold powerful criminals accountable, John is drawn into a covert online collective of victims—people bound by loss and a shared belief that the justice system is broken beyond repair.

Calling themselves the VOICE (Victims of Injustice, Court of Equalization), the group quietly re-examines cases the courts have already failed, guided by common sense rather than legal loopholes. What begins as a way to process grief soon becomes something far more dangerous when fate collides with opportunity.

That opportunity arrives in the form of Ted Dirkson, a retired CIA operative with terminal cancer and nothing left to lose.

As the VOICE reviews its first case, Ted is tasked with surveilling suspected pedophile Patrick Rondel. During covert observation, Ted becomes convinced that Rondel is about to strike again. The police are moving too slowly. Another child is at risk.

Ted makes the group an offer they never expected.

He can stop it—permanently.

Armed with moral certainty, illegally obtained evidence, and their own self-imposed rules, the VOICE votes.

Guilty.

It will not be the last time.

As the body count rises, a relentless Baltimore homicide detective closes in. The FBI takes interest. Ted’s health deteriorates. Time accelerates on every front—and each decision pushes the group further down a moral path where justice, vengeance, and necessity blur beyond recognition.

Court of Equalization is a psychological crime thriller that drags readers into the gray space between right and wrong, asking an impossible question:

When the law won’t save a child in time…
who should?
