NOTES

In Defense of the Righteous is a dark allegorical thriller that draws readers beneath the surface of Levy Ridge, where missing children, a haunted detective, and a war-scarred veteran descend into a City that judges all who enter. Detective Dani Francis carries the weight of a tragic shooting from her past. Jake Tinsley, a combat veteran, knows the futility of wars that never leave a soldier's mind. Rally Gillum, restless and reckless, leads the younger ones into a labyrinth that feeds on guilt, memory, and choice, echoing Dante's Inferno. In the City's quarters-the Market of Balances, the Temple of Absolutes, the Quarter of Shadows, and the Labyrinth of Mirrors-justice is not blind. It is merciless, shifting, and alive. The Archivist records, the Enforcers march, and the Deceiver waits in the Central Court. This is a story about innocence under siege and truth on trial. Every decision is weighed. Every past act returns. And no one leaves unchanged. In Defense of the Righteous is both a psychological descent and a gripping thriller-a journey through justice, from the righteous to the damned
