Russell W. Crooks Jr.'s New Book 'Truth and Justice Smothered' is an Intriguing Read About a Woman Getting Caught Up in Deceit, Manipulation, and Power Struggle

TAMPA, Fla. - May 10, 2022 - (Newswire.com)

Fulton Books author Russell W. Crooks Jr., a retired Navy Reserve captain, has completed his most recent book "Truth and Justice Smothered": a page-turning novel that follows the thrilling journey of a woman as she navigates her way through the scheming world of the elites. Mary Ann's marriage turned her life into a living hell. Her husband and his mistress are determined to ruin her reputation and her life. Mary Ann, who was caught up in this mess, saw a glimmer of hope in the presence of her high school acquaintance. The plot thickens when the FBI and CIA get into the picture.

Crooks Jr. shares, "A talented young woman wins a full scholarship to a prestigious women's college, marries the son of a prominent Boston family and, newly married, lives in Berlin. This is the unlikely beginning of blackmail, harassment, and efforts to destroy her life. Her husband, a rising star in the State Department, becomes involved with an ambitious British woman. His wife, Mary Ann, soon becomes a target of this deceitful couple. She is caught in a web of deceit, lies, and revenge. Her life seems to spiral into a dark place with no escape.

"A chance meeting with a guy from her high school class changes her future. He fell in love with Mary Ann while they were both still in seventh grade, and he never forgot her. After she is falsely arrested for solicitation of minors for sexual activities, he calls upon several of his friends who served with him in the navy. One is now an FBI agent. Another works for the CIA as an electronic warfare specialist. The third friend works for the enigmatic N35, a black operations organization.

"Under FBI agent Wolf's leadership, this group launches an unofficial investigation. But soon, they learn that the techniques being used to track and harass Mary Ann are used by an international arms dealer and the vengeful power couple to launder money, and it becomes a major investigation. This leads to uncovering connections in Berlin, Stockholm, Washington, and Boston.

"But despite accumulating significant evidence, justice is smothered by the power and money used by the former husband's family. When a US attorney and the attorney general of the United States refuse to pursue prosecution or seek a grand jury, it becomes clear that money and power trump justice, at least for the moment."

Published by Fulton Books, Russell W. Crooks Jr.'s book is a gripping story about wronged characters and their fight to unravel the truth. It is a nail-biting experience especially when the story approaches its rising action.

Despite being dark and heavy, the tale also has its fair share of heartwarming moments.
