He wanted to earn his reputation through hard work, inventive ideas, dedication, and not by the legacy or influence of his family’s name.

What will happen when he has to make an unexpected trip home and rediscovers what is really important? Will his eyes finally be opened to the deceit and misplaced trust of those around him?

Can she win the battle when the imagined enemy is already dead? Or will she need to seek help for this struggle?
Can these two find the help they need in each other? The answer is... Absolute Corruption, the second installment of the Southern Justice Trilogy.
I am from the south, so I love books that are based in the southern United States. Austin Morgan, like all the Morgan brothers was raised to be a true gentleman and to treat women with respect, holding the door, standing when they enter, pulling out chairs and walking between his woman and traffic. After a series of events in Austin's life, he moves from New York back to his home of Charleston, SC, where he meets Lainie. Lainie is the best friends with Austin's brothers girlfriend. And Lainie is trying to recover from a very tragic event in her life. This book is about how these two whether together or apart work though past events and current events.
I loved this book. I loved the realistic aspect of each character's range of emotion. Austin's family as a group was a prominent character in this novel. It was a constant. That sense of "we are all in this together, once you are in". I loved the references to southern euphemisms and characteristics. I also enjoyed the suspense that was interwoven into this plot. A story that not only played with my emotions and had me cheering for each collective set of good guys, but also a story that had me sitting on the edge of my seat and daring me to turn the next page!!!
