The Quest for Justice (Oxford 3000 Vocabulary Series)
Estimated reading time: 0:44s
The town was shaken by a sudden murder. The atmosphere was tense. No room for a joke. The prime suspect was swiftly put in jail with only an item linking him to the crime. A group decided to join efforts to uncover the truth. They were not detectives, just concerned citizens with a sense of justice. Their investigation made them jump from one clue to another, piecing together the puzzle. They formed an unofficial jury, determined to act justly and not let an innocent person keep suffering for a crime they didn’t commit. Their quest had them kicking down doors and chasing shadows until they found the real culprit who had planned to kill again. Thanks to their bravery, justice was served and the innocent were freed.
