A vigilante nun cleans up the streets of Los Angeles. Sinners beware. Just who is Sister Justicia Marie? And what is she doing to some of the toughest thugs in L.A.? When a nun is viciously attacked, Sister Justicia takes it upon herself to find out what happened. The cops don't like that. Neither does her Mother Superior at St. Cecelia's. But when a couple of hoods try to stick up a liquor store and Sister J brings them down, something is unleashed inside her...something that will either confirm her calling . . . or destroy it. From "one of the best writers out there, bar none" (Library Review) comes the start of a new series featuring a heroine unlike any other in crime fiction—Sister Justicia Marie, rogue nun. If criminals are the knuckles, she is the ruler. So be good. An original novelette from national bestselling suspense author James Scott Bell.

She's back...and the punks in L.A. are about to get knuckled under... Sister Justicia Marie, the rogue nun who burst into action in FORCE OF HABIT, is back with a vengeance. Determined to love her enemies by kicking their butts, Sister J is getting on everyone’s bad side—her superior at St. Cecelia's school; her confessor, Father Dom; the criminal boss who calls himself the Pope of Los Angeles; and any number of thugs and criminals who think they can get away with murder. Not with Sister J on the case. "They are the knuckles," she says. "I am the ruler." And this crime novelette is another great read in the FORCE OF HABIT series. James Scott Bell is the bestselling and award winning author of many thrillers and books on the craft of writing. He makes his home in Sister J's town, Los Angeles.

Sister Justicia Marie is just a nun trying to make L.A. a little bit safer. So why are so many people out to get her? Sister J, and her young charge Sister Xuan, have started a new order, The Sisters of Perpetual Justice. Now they're running a shelter for the homeless but also preparing for the streets. Which means mixed martial arts and kick boxing and other items not on the Vatican's approved list. For there is still a criminal element out there and Sister J is convinced God has called her to stop the evil...by any means necessary. But when a shocking murder takes place on the grounds of the shelter, a new threat emerges, one that has a very clear message for the nuns: "There is going to be hell to pay, and hell always collects." James Scott Bell is the bestselling, award-winning author of many thrillers and books on the craft of writing. He makes his home in Sister J's town, Los Angeles.
