      Everyone understands, or should understand, how thoroughly screwed up government bureaucracies are. Judicial systems are no exception; and relatively confidential judicial systems like the juvenile justice system provide the opportunity for abuse without any real form of accountability.Imagine, then, the opportunities that would arise if a North Korean criminal enterprise managed to smuggle high quality methamphetamine into a major metropolitan juvenile justice system in a way that that was lucrative for all the system’s administrators. It’s easy if the administrators consider the juveniles in detention to be drug users, incorrigible criminals and unworthy of the effort of saving.Such is the juvenile justice system described in Jurisdiction Terminated; a system torn between taking controversial action that truly changes behavior and the prevailing political sentiment that kinder and gentler, but generally ineffective, tactics should be used. Into this mix, comes a Korean crime syndicate with a seemingly endless supply of methamphetamine, the ability to corrupt responsible officials and a fixed population of juvenile consumers for the meth. When Los Angeles Superior Court Internal Services Chief John Walker is murdered, and subsequently, Judge Marty Goldstein begins to notice fewer cases coming into his court, he begins to suspect something is wrong in paradise. Enlisting a few good friends (he thinks) Goldstein begins asking questions with potentially disastrous results. What follows is a nail-biting detective story in the best tradition of the genre.The story is narrated in the first person from Judge Goldstein’s perspective. It’s his frustration that is expressed throughout the narrative. The characters are believable; even to the fact that most who weren’t involved in the conspiracy couldn’t care less what was happening around them. Goldstein displays strength of character in pursuing his suspicions, but exercises poor judgment enlisting assistance. Goldstein’s companion judges are well developed characters, but are much better developed than their role in the story requires. Otherwise, the character’s development is consistent with their roles.Jurisdiction Terminated is entertaining, believable and anyone who ever spent much time in government service can relate to the dry frustration that seeps through it. It should be an enjoyable and entertaining read for everyone who loves detective/crime action stories and similar adventures. I enjoyed it. If you want to know what happened in the end, I guess you’ll have to buy it and read it! 5-Stars Clabe Polk
