Heather Sloan is an FBI agent spending the day with her sister, Kat, on a helicopter ride. Out of nowhere, the pilot starts yelling that they need to make sure their seatbelts are secure. The ride starts to get rough, and it becomes clear that they are going to crash. After the crash, Kat’s last words to her sister tell Heather to follow the drugs. After hearing Kat’s last words, Heather passes out.

Jeremy Latham is a deputy sheriff assigned to the case. Just as he is headed to Heather’s room, he hears a scream. He runs towards it just in time to see a man coming out of her room. Jeremy grabs the man, but he gets away. When Jeremy gets to Heather, she is screaming that something was put into her IV and it’s burning its way up her arm. Jeremy calls for help as he makes a tourniquet to stop it while he waits for help.

When Heather wakes up again, she feels someone holding her hand. Jeremy introduces himself and thus begins their journey to find out who rigged the helicopter, killed Kat, and now seems to be trying to kill Heather. Throughout the investigation, Jeremy and Heather begin to learn more about each other and the things that have weakened their faith in God. Together they must learn how to trust in God again and to trust each other. As they work the investigation, Jeremy and Heather find they are drawn to one another. Can they learn to trust God, each other, and even trust themselves? Can they accept the feelings that they are beginning to have for each other?

Liz Johnson has a winner here. Code of Justice is a great read. It has suspense, mystery, romance, and a lesson on how, if we trust God to show us the way, He will direct our path. It also shows how certain things must happen before God will reveal to us the purpose of the events happening around us and to us. Not only is this a good who-done-it, but I found myself wishing I could reach through the book and knock Jeremy and Heather’s heads together when they would start snapping at each other. Now that’s a sign you’re really getting into the characters. This is a book that anyone should enjoy. I highly recommend it.
