Reckless Indifference

NEW HAMPSHIRE’S Julie Bigg Veazey explores the timely issue in her new novel, Reckless Indifference, surrounding the failure of the criminal-justice system to protect the innocent. She sets up a landscape crackling with tension and a variety of self-interested naïve characters that generate both sympathy and dislike. Tony Deluca, a small town cop with scheming ambition to ingratiate himself both with his father, the mayor, and with his chief, targets Eric Nordblum, a mild-mannered Everyman who is then ambushed by the legal system and whose life as he had known it is ruined.

Reckless Indifference presents a recognizable world with terror on a different level in this tale of the collateral damage of tangled relationships and the bitter anguish of many lives and players spinning out of control.

4Lively Book Discussion Read!  Jan 20, 2009
By Chester Public Library
Julie Bigg Veazey has given us another edge of your seat page turner.
This book was chosen for a discussion for the Chester Public Library's Book Club. It was helpful to have the discussion questions in the back of the book! Many in the group questioned just who it was that was guilty of Reckless Indifference, maybe not whom you would think upon first reading the book. The discussion also managed to give some members a change in their point of view from their original reading of the story. There is much to discuss in this novel and the scariest part is, though this is a work of fiction, the situation and the outcome are not far-fetched at all. Showing a disregard for integrity and the "golden rule" can have chilling consequences.

4A Tale of Two Men Trapped by Circumstances  Jan 06, 2009
By William T. Paarlberg
Julie Bigg Veazey's "Reckless Indifference" is a story of two men, trapped by circumstances and their personalities. An average citizen is accused of a crime, and a cop is trying to pin a crime on an average citizen. This novel is a tense, trapped-by-fate story that makes you wonder if it could happen to you, and how often it happens to other people. Ms. Veazey is my aunt, so I am partial to all her books. I recommend this one to anyone interested in how the justice system works -- or doesn't. --Bill Paarlberg

5Terrific read  Nov 10, 2008
By Louise B. Cushman
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I couldn't put it down.The corruption was maddening & frustrating as an innocent person becomes a victim in the "system". A must read!

5Wow! Wow! Wow!  Mar 13, 2009
By Kyla Douglas
From wishes turned into words turned into actions, the characters in Reckless Indifference set in motion chillingly plausible chains of events that ultimately plunge them into the darkest of outcomes. Think it couldn't happen to you? Veazey's cleverly crafted story of lies, omissions, circumstance and half truths will make you think twice! A fabulous read!
