Revenge Is Not Justice tells a story of relationships torn apart by lust and greed-emotions that blind reason. While on an early morning run, Santa Fe police detective Clay Bryce is struck by a driver in a hit-and-run attempt on his life. A Bible verse scrawled on his hall mirror hints at revenge as the motive, but the suspect could be any one of the dozens of criminals he has faced over the years. Circumstantial evidence points to John Grainger, former executive of the Indian Bend Casino, charged a year earlier in a felony sex case. But Grainger has an alibi-he claims he was with the beautiful Arianna Arrington, the scheming trophy wife and heir apparent of billionaire Hayden Arrington. When Hank Kincaid, the Assistant District Attorney who worked with Clay on Grainger's Indian Bend case is also targeted, Clay's hit-and-run investigation spirals into a tangle of assaults and murders.
