RIVERTON, Utah

Her love for reading books under the mystery thriller genre, combined with her passion for writing, has once again enabled author Marilyn Ellsworth Shelley to deliver a gripping story. In her newest puzzle of a plot, Shelley tells what happens when "The Reluctant Witness" (published by Xlibris) decides to seek and see justice served.

Maria, a divorced mother with two small children, works as a paralegal for a large law firm in Lockwood. One jogging dedicated morning, she accidentally witnessed a brutal murder. Recognizing the assailant as a powerful corporate executive, Maria realizes she cannot go to the police to seek justice. Instead, she decided that she herself must seek justice by looking for and putting together strong evidences even if it means risking her own life. Will she see justice served in the end?

Highlighting crime and the justice system this time, Shelley throws mystery and thrill that build page after page, holding readers to the edge of suspension as tragedy strikes time and time again until justice is in the balance.
