"I went looking for a book related to Stephen King and I found this...well, Josh's got the page-turning, the trance, the can't-put-it-down bits all down to a "T", he's a natural...I finished the book with a broken, soaring heart, in tears. I need more of Joshua's stuff on Kindle & I need them NOW!"
--Cherilyn G. Webber, Noth Vernon, IN

"This book has many twists and turns and will keep you guessing right to the end. Joshua Graham did a great job and at times reminded me of the writings of John Grisham. I would definitely recommend this book."
 --Jan, Amazon Reviewer

"While Graham's a bit like Ted Dekker in some ways (gripping, intense thriller with lots of twists), he's definitely got his own style as well. Recommended to all fans of Koontz, Patterson, Dekker, Michael Connelly or any other thriller/mystery/action type author."
--Label, Amazon Reviewer, Indianapolis, IL

"This is my first Joshua Graham book...Great script...beautifully written. Highly recommended. I bought several books on Kindle and thought I was buying John Grisham and instead discovered my favorite new author."
--Mewish, Amazon Reviewer

BEYOND JUSTICE

THE DESCENT INTO HELL IS NOT ALWAYS VERTICAL...

Sam Hudson, a reputable San Diego attorney, learns this when the authorities wrongfully convict him of the brutal rape and murder of his wife and daughter, and sends him to death row. There he awaits execution by lethal injection.

If he survives that long.

In prison, Sam fights for his life while his attorney works frantically on his appeal. It is then that he embraces the faith of his departed wife and begins to manifest supernatural abilities. Abilities which help him save lives- his own, those of his unlikely allies-and uncover the true killer's identity, unlocking the door to his exoneration.

Now a free man, Sam's newfound faith confronts him with the most insurmountable challenge yet. A challenge beyond vengeance, beyond rage, beyond anything Sam believes himself capable of: to forgive the very man who murdered his family, according to his faith. But this endeavor reveals darker secrets than either Sam or the killer could ever have imagined. Secrets that hurtle them into a fateful collision course.

BEYOND JUSTICE, a tale of loss, redemption, and the power of faith.

"...A riveting legal thriller.... breaking new ground with a vengeance... demonically entertaining and surprisingly inspiring."

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY

"...hits the ground running...handled by a deft hand."

Adrian Phoenix, BENEATH THE SKIN (Pocket Books)

"This tense, fast-paced story of outrageous injustice, insidious evil, and looming disaster has everything the savvy reader should expect, and more. [Graham] belongs to a new, emerging wave of writers who dare to color outside conventional lines. And he does so with style!"

Glen Scorgie, THE JOURNEY BACK TO EDEN (Zondervan)

5.0 out of 5 stars Powerful and Inspiring - Highly Recommended October 27, 2010

By Lori Hedgpeth VINE™ VOICE

Format:Paperback

I will give you fair warning before you pick up Beyond Justice by Joshua Graham - - the next 24 to 48 hours of your life will be utterly consumed by this book.

I can be an intense, all-inclusive reader but it takes a special book to have my unconditional and unwavering attention from page one to the conclusion. Beyond Justice does just that; it draws you in from the first page and literally does not let go of you or your emotions until the rollercoaster conclusion.

Author Joshua Graham has managed quite a feat in writing a powerfully gripping legal thriller, featuring a brutal serial killer, that includes thought provoking views on faith and divine intervention. Neither the brutality of a merciless killer nor the religious overtones are too graphic or overwhelming to upset readers who generally do not prefer genres of either type. The legal aspects are hit upon hard, most especially dealing with a criminal trial and wrongful conviction. Even knowing that central character Sam Hudson would be convicted and imprisoned, my heart remained in my chest while reading of the trial and the horrors awaiting him in prison.

I was absolutely captivated by Mr. Graham's writing, leaving me with a strong emotional connection to Sam and his adopted family of supporters. I liked Sam, I thought him a realistic and endearing character and more importantly, I cared about Sam. I wanted him free and exonerated and I wanted justice for him. To say Sam's story was mesmerizing would be a gross understatement. Sam's story, told through the able pen of Mr. Graham, is inspiring in every aspect. Sam isn't a believer in God in the beginning of the book and does not become a believer due to the horrors his family is subjected to, nor due to his imprisonment and branding as a "family killer". It's a gradual process in which he truly sees the light.

Was there anything negative about Beyond Justice? I am a very particular reader in certain aspects. Typographical errors make me crazy and I have been known to put a book down due to such errors or inconsistencies not caught by editing. While I did notice typographical errors throughout the book, absolutely nothing short of an act of God or nature would have stopped me from finishing this book. That's how unbelievably powerful and spellbinding this book is. Beyond Justice is not a light read; the story will stay with you long after you finish it.

I would highly recommend this book to any reader looking for a strong and powerful story, period. The legal thriller and spiritual aspects are just icing on top of this very substantial literary cake. Do not hesitate. Rush to get your own copy of Beyond Justice.

5.0 out of 5 stars Couldn't put it down! August 3, 2010

By cellospud

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase

If you like legal thrillers, this book is a must read! Beyond Justice begins with a heart racing pace which grips you and pushes you immediately into the story. And WHAT a STORY! Graham's narrative is intelligent, well researched and highly personal. Unlike many legal thrillers, Beyond Justice takes an unexpected twist as Sam Hudson must deal with the devastating aftermath of the horrors he has experienced. The events leading to the conclusion pose many thoughtful and spiritual questions. The ending was not what I wished for or expected. Instead, it turned into something bigger and more powerful than I imagined. A wonderful first novel for this author, and this reader is looking forward to the next!!!!!!

I read the book on some plane flights and was hoping the flights would be extended as I did not want to put it down. Not a cookie cutter Christian book and I found the characters believable. I recommend this book.
