Justice Tomorrow, by Jackie Ross Flaum, is a riveting tale about murder, the fight for desegregation, and forbidden love. Meet Socrates Gray and Madeline Sterling. Gray is an educated Black man, and Sterling is a white woman dedicated to the cause. Both are investigators in Justice Tomorrow, a hush-hush organization, working as a team to find evidence of wrongdoing and help solve crimes related to civil rights. From Alabama to Pennsylvania and then to Crossville, Georgia, they encounter small-minded, small-town segregationists who threaten, maim, and kill people who don’t believe what they believe. Justice Tomorrow is full of investigators and handlers, but can they all be trusted? Who is Tom Foster? Why did he worm his way into the organization? What is his plan? Jump back to a time in history when segregation was prevalent and crimes against blacks were commonplace. Watch our heroes do their part to try to fix the injustices while investigating a recent crime and a century-old mystery. The twists and turns will delight you!

I enjoyed reading Justice Tomorrow. Jackie Ross Flaum’s use of imagery throughout the entire book makes the reader feel like they are in the story. I smelled the forest, felt the humid, steamy air, and experienced the characters’ stress, worry, anxiety, and even love. I could see the old papers and books in the Emporium; my fingers itched to look through them! I looked forward to the interactions between Gray and Sterling. I was delighted at how comfortable they were with each other, especially at that time in history when it was offensive to many people. The story was so interesting that I did not want to put it down.

I could not find anything truly negative in the book.

Unfortunately, I must rate this book 3 out of 4 stars. I would add a half star because the story is exciting and well written. There were minor instances of missing words or incorrect word usage, so I could not rate it four stars. However, this didn’t detract from the fluidity of reading the story.

I look forward to reading more about Gray and Sterling.

I recommend Justice Tomorrow to mature readers who are aged 14 and above. The book discusses the fight for civil rights and has graphic descriptions of murder and brutality. Religion is discussed throughout but is not offensive or preachy. Profanity is sporadic, and there is minor sexual content.

I found the story interesting and enjoyable. At the beginning the narrator gave us the picture of what the story is about even before I read more ..I'm up for more stories.

Kind regards
