After years of grief, Will Chambers has finally been able to move past it and marry Fiona. While on their honeymoon, he gets a call that threatens to overturn all of that.

The looming spectre of terrorism that has lingered over our country for the past few years has materialized in the form of kidnapping a US official, and the clues left behind are linked to the death of Will's first wife. The heat rises when Will is thrust into another case, saving a Marine colnel from courtmartial for the actions he took on a rescue mission.

Politics, memories, and danger make life a hotbed for Will Chambers. Were it not for the faith in God that his new wife helped him find, all might be lost. Forgiveness and trust in God are the keys to survival for this modern day crusader. As he goes to battle, he has the assurance that God is on his side.

*** The previous novels in this series have had the complexity of Grisham, now Mr. Parshall can be compared to Tom Clancy. The cast of characters continues to gain depth and dimension as their lives evolve at a natural pace. Showing how scripture can be a regular part of everyday life is a very key and strong feature to this series. ***

Power hungry politicians, fiendish terrorists, treacherous drug dealers and corrupt police perpetrate the gripping events that plunge Will Chambers into the most dangerous case of his life. Once again things are not as seem when a highly respected special forces Colonel is accused of killing an innocent family during a daring rescue operation. The fact that Colonel Marlow cannot reveal all of the details makes defending him even more complex.
In this his third book in the Chambers of Justice series, Craig Parshall has once again proven that he can weave headline events, courtroom drama, human relationships and emerging faith in God into a powerful and thought provoking story. It begins joyfully with Will and Fiona on their honeymoon in Cancun. Having worked out some of their earlier communication problems and having set aside their busy schedules, they are ready to settle into married life. However, before the honeymoon is completed, the kidnapping of an American official begins a series of events that may once again awaken the demons that Will thought he had defeated.
Parshall deftly pulls together characters and events from the first two books, giving justice another chance to prevail against those who escaped her power before. Cops and Christians don't believe in coincidence so, once again we also see the role that God plays in the lives of those who put their faith in Him.

Craig has truly topped himself in his latest addition to the Chambers of Justice series. If I could give this book 10 stars I would because it's that good! Once again Will takes us on a journey of faith and will captivate your thinking, heart, mind and soul. What an absolutely tremedously gifted writer Craig Parshall is! He's a man who obviously knows what it's like to be forgiven and knows to the depth of the marrow of his bones that the forgiveness of Christ Jesus is real. Will finds this out, and hopefully as you walk out your faith walk, you will find that truth out as well. Amen, Mr. Parshall! I love you!

Also recommended: Of course the other books in the Chambers of Justice series!

I read this book within a day of receiving it as the semester had ended and I wanted to chill out.
Enjoyed the book and will pass it on so that someone else can too. I like this type of thriller/political novel for my leisure reading.

As with the previous books in his 'Chambers of Justice' series, Craig Parshall delivers another top notch story.

Attorney Will Chambers is retained to defend a Marine Corps colonel who has been accused of multiple murder in an anti-terrorist mission gone badly awry. Along with Chamber's defense of the colonel, he has to deal with a grandstanding U.S. senator and a heavy handed prosecution in the International Criminal Court.

It is a great story throughout. There is good courtroom drama as well as military action. Aong with those main plot elements are Christian themes of prayer, faith, and forgiveness.

This story is well done and not to be missed by Parshall fans. For those who have not read him before, I recommend starting with 'The Resurrection File', which is the first one in this collection. Do yourself a favor and check out this series by Craig Parshall.

Will, Fiona, Tiny, Len -- good characters (who are now old friends to us) return in a top-notch international, military mystery. After a covert military raid goes horribly wrong, a decorated hero stands before an international court. From the first page to the last, this book is pure excitement. Each book Craig Parshall writes gets better and better.

This was an excellent, fast-paced book. Like Mr. Parshall's others in this series, I read this within 24 hours. The only thing that kept this one from a 5-star is Fiona - she has too many issues and is too insecure! Otherwise, love the characters and the plot twists!

will chambers is on his honeymoon when he receives an urgent request from an army colonel on the brink of court martial, so begins another rollercoaster journey of courtroom battles and international politics with a decent smattering of military drama. who killed chambers first wife? he must unlock the secrets of the past in order to save his future
i found this book to be good but more stodgy than the first two with the storyline being weighed down at times with a little too much detail and dialogue
