“Late Justice” receives 5 Stars from Reader's Favorite. Here’s an excerpt: “[The] complex and detailed plot captures the reader's attention and holds it to the last page. The lead character Jeff Tribe is a flawed hero. Too often the lead characters have no flaws but Roberge make Tribe very human and believable. Fans of Robert Parker and Elmore Leonard will enjoy Robert Roberge's style." Read the entire review.
