Judge Angela Cornwell sits on the California Superior Court. One busy Friday morning, Angela’s mentor lies dead in his own chambers. The police say he blew his brains out. Not possible to Angela, she can’t leave it alone.

Decades before, rogue FBI agent, Frank Maier, gets a murder case of a young woman in Washington D.C. Too soon he’s ordered to back away, even threatened. But he can’t leave it alone either.

In their separate quests, Frank and Angela learn the two killings are related to other deaths that all arise from the biggest true crime of the last century. They each attract the attention of the most clever and powerful criminals in the U.S. Will Angela’s by-the-book courtroom process help them, or is Frank’s street justice their only safe path?

Praise for Chasing Justice:

“A brilliant legal thriller, well-crafted characters, and the abuse of governmental power results in a riveting, tension-filled tale. Chasing Justice is a must-read. Expect a roller coaster ride as decency and goodness struggle to triumph over morally corrupt brokers of evil." -Laura Taylor, 6-Time Romantic Times Award Winner

“G.J makes his characters real people you will cheer on as they fight to make good come out of a nasty criminal conspiracy with national implications.” -p.d.r. lindsay, author of ‘Tizzie’, ‘Bittersweet’, ‘Jacob’s Justice’

“With Chasing Justice, accomplished historical novelist G.J. Berger makes an impressive debut in the conspiracy thriller genre. In a league with the best of Grisham and Baldacci.” -Dan Pollock, author of Lair of the Fox and Duel of Assassins

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

When G. J. was eight, his mom told him the story of Hannibal crossing the Alps with elephants and a great army. He asked her what happened to Hannibal after that. Mom didn't know, but he was hooked, had to find out, had to write about it.

G. J. spent much of his young life on the road and at sea, even working as a crew member on a tramp steamer. Wherever his travels took him, old walls, canals, storage holes deep in the ground, made him wonder about how they got there, about the people who built them, how they lived and got along. The award-winning "South of Burnt Rocks--West of The Moon" and the second historical, "Four Nails", bring to modern readers the lives and times of Hannibal, history's greatest elephant, and much more.

For decades G. J. worked trial lawyer shepherding many cases through the court system. That naturally led to his most recent creation, the legal thriller "Chasing Justice." One author reviewer says of it, “With Chasing Justice, accomplished historical novelist G.J. Berger makes an impressive debut in the conspiracy thriller genre. In a league with the best of Grisham and Baldacci.”

When not writing, G. J. tries to roam around the places he writes about, likes to sit and soak up the times back then and bring them to life in his stories. G. J. is convinced that for all the changes in last 2000 years, people loved and hated, suffered and rejoiced, destroyed and built out of the same urges then as today.

G. J. says, "I write historical fiction because the genre gives the reader an added 'take away' as only historical fiction can. Nothing else sweeps the reader into great tides of the past, into the lives of people who lived and loved, fought and suffered, laughed and rejoiced just as we do today--but differently too." He says of his legal thriller, "Only the American legal system, when done right, can bring justice to victims of any kind. It separates us from the rest of the world--in a good way."

Both "Four Nails" and "South of Burnt Rocks" won recognition as the best published historical fiction of 2012 and 2015-16, respectively, from the San Diego Book Awards. "Publishers Weekly", Kirkus Reviews, and the "Huffington Post" have praised G. J.'s novels.

G. J. lives in San Diego with his favorite grammarian and English Professor and tango dancing partner. They visit their two sons and grandsons as often as the kids will have them.

    Chasing Justice was an absolute pleasure to read. This is the third of G.J.’s books that I have read and each one just as riveting as the one before. With characters committed to and passionate about their causes and believable plots and scenarios an excellent story is woven skilfully by the author from the very first word. The story is well crafted and beautifully written. G.J. writes from a place of understanding and appreciation of the subject matter. Angela’s quest leads her from the court rooms of power to a well-protected conspiracy; juxtaposing this is Frank, leading his own pursuit of the killer. Where the story took me is not any place, I ever imagined I would go. There is such magic between the pages of a good book. Chasing Justice has the magic and is captivating, fascinating and enchanting. An ending that surprises, tying together all the loose ends providing a very satisfying finish to a brilliantly penned novel. I simply can’t wait for the next one.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Riveting twin narration mystery spans multiple decades
    Reviewed in the United States on 1 July 2023
    Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase
    Dramatic unresolved deaths, at first seemingly unconnected, touch families east and west. Berger's use of twin narrative helps the reader sort out a complicated multi-murder conspiracy leading to final resolution for some, while the reader continues to puzzle over one of the biggest historical events of the 20th century.

    This book was poorly written, did not really flow, and was hard to follow at times. I would not recommend it.
