Lynette Eason winds up her Blue Justice series with Vow of Justice, the fourth story in a family series that introduced the St. John law enforcement family to readers. It’s great to have Lynette back at Relz Reviewz, sharing about her latest characters, Linc and Allie, in this character spotlight. There’s something fun about learning more about characters through the eyes of the author, especially the traits and characteristics they have intentionally given them, plus a few more stats than you can usually glean from the book itself. I hope you enjoy this behind the scenes looks and be sure to enter the giveaway of Vow of Justice, thanks to the wonderful folk at Revell Books.
Over to you, Lynette…
FBI Special Agent Lincoln St. John is living his own personal nightmare. When the woman he loves, Allison Radcliffe, is killed, he devotes his life to tracking down the killers and making them pay for their crimes. He expected it to be a challenge. What he never expected was to find Allison very much alive shortly after her “murder.” As his anger and hurt mix with relief, Linc isn’t sure how he’s supposed to feel. One thing he does know for sure: he and Allison will have to work together to stop a killer before she dies a second time–this time for good.
Bestselling and award-winning author Lynette Eason closes out her Blue Justice series with a story that will have you tearing through the pages to get to the stunning conclusion.
Lincoln St. John & Allison Radcliffe
Physical Stats
Height
Linc: 6’1”
Allie: 5’7
Hair colour & style
Linc: Short, dark hair
Allie: usually a blond, but dyes her hair dark: It’s long and she usually pulls it back in a pony tail when she’s working.
Eye colour:
Linc: blue
Allie: Green
Favorite accessory or clothing style
Linc: his Glock
Allie: The same. LOL.
Resembles…
Linc
Allie – in two different modes. Work mode and relaxation mode.
Can’t live without…
Linc: can’t live without justice for Allie when he thinks she’s dead.
Allie: Can’t live without finding her family’s killer.
Ultimately, they find that they don’t want to live without each other, but that they’re strong enough to survive with God’s help if they have to.
Strengths
Linc: He’s a family man. He loves his big, loud, crazy family and he’s loyal. Once he commits to you, he’ll always have your back.
Allie: Tenacious. She never gives up. She’s smart and compassionate.
Vulnerabilities
Linc: He’s hurting, too, but for different reasons. His ex really did a number on him and it’s been hard to trust his heart with someone else.
Allie: Allie has some rough edges that need smoothing. She’s hurting and thinks finding her family’s killer will bring her peace. And while that’s ultimately somewhat true, she needs to learn that true peace only comes from God.
Passions
Allie and Linc both have a passion to pursue justice for those who can’t fight for themselves.
What book or movie would they recommend?
Die Hard with Bruce Willis.
Your inspiration for the character
Honestly, I don’t have a particular inspiration when it comes to developing characters. I give them the qualities they need to fit the story.
Background to the story
On a visit to Charleston, SC, we passed the Joint Base exit and I thought it would be super cool to use it in a book. 🙂
Thanks Lynette!

For my favorite officer, I would have to say my grandfather, who in his lifetime was police chief of a small town.
August 26, 2019 at 11:26 pm
I don’t have a favorite police officer, but the off-duty police that help with security & traffic at our church are very nice. We appreciate them!

My niece’s husband was a deputy for years, so grateful for his service and all the others that protect and serve. I sure don’t get the idiocy where people hate LE.
Of course I have loved getting to know the St. John family!

My favorite fictional police officer is from Dee Henderson’s Negotiator. I really like Kate and I like Dave … I like them even better together!

I cant really pick just one. My favorite officers are those that serve in our community. They make this place the best town I have ever lived in.
August 27, 2019 at 4:35 am
Can’t think of any in books now. Unless I am in serious trouble, I would prefer the cops to be fictional. lol
August 27, 2019 at 7:01 am
My very favorite character has to be Raleigh Harmon from Sibella Giorello. She’s a PI now but FBI.
I agree with Mandy above that I love Dee Henderson’s O’Malley law enforcement officers.
I also enjoyed the characters:
Kristen Connor from MK Gilroy
Carly Edwards, Brinna Caruso, & Abby Hart from Janice Cantore’s various series.
And from secular writer Lisa Gardner–Pierce Quincy & Rainie Conner, Kimberly Quincy, Tessa Leoni
