Today’s guest is Burt Weissbourd, novelist, screenwriter and producer of feature films. His novels include the thrillers ‘Danger In Plain Sight’, ‘The Corey Logan Trilogy’ and ‘In Velvet’. ‘Rough Justice’ is the sequel to ‘Danger In Plain Sight’ and was recently released in October. You’ll hear why he was so captivated in the central characters and their group of friends to create villains and a half-Algerian 25 year old woman, how having a background in psychology helped him write thrillers and if the books were made into films, how he envisions the characters on the big screen.
“When you get out of jail, don’t ever come back here.”
Callie James thought those were the last words she’d ever speak to Cash Logan. Two years later, in Danger in Plain Sight, Callie and Cash become an improbable team taking on lethal adversaries.
Now, in Rough Justice, Callie and Cash are back, and their world is about to explode. It’s been a year since they saved her ex-husband’s life and faced unexpected, terrifying adversaries. During that process—confronting kidnapping, murder, and the destruction of her restaurant—they came together, and against all odds, fell passionately in love.

The smooth sailing abruptly ends when Sara, a twenty-five-year-old, half-Algerian woman, unexpectedly shows up at the restaurant and insists on telling them her shocking, unbelievable story. Someone has stolen her identity, and they’re trying to kill her. Sara needs their help now, and she has a stunning, life-changing secret to tell.
Again, Cash and Callie assemble their unconventional ragtag family—including peg-legged Andre, and Itzac, “the Macher.” Together, they go to war with formidable adversaries to save Sara and ultimately their own lives. The fierce global battle leads them to Cuba, where they launch an audacious offensive that shocks even them…and will absolutely take your breath away.
With Rough Justice, Burt Weissbourd elevates not only his deeply rich and complex characters, but the entire thriller genre.
