NOW SHE FIGHTS FOR JUSTICE.Life isn't fair, but former D.C. lawyer Carole Ann Gibson believes it should be just.A year ago, catching her husband's killer strained her faith in the legal system to the breaking point.Now she's climbing out of a numbing grief, and a plea for help from her mother may be all she needs to snap her out of her lethargy....or get her killed.Her mother's neighborhood had been one of Los Angeles's little jewels: a couple of city blocks where mixed cultures got along and prospered.Now a rash of muggings and murders have residents scared to death. If the cops won't help, what can one woman do?Maybe nothing.But Carole Ann Gibson is willing to risk her life trying-to uncover the real reason for police indifference and enter a dark zone where those who catch criminals sometimes become them....
