About this book

The justice system is there to protect us, but it often fails. Sometimes those failures are so egregious, so dangerous to those who are least able to protect themselves, that they cannot be allowed to stand. But can these failures be corrected and the innocent kept safe? One man has figured it out and is bringing his own dark form of justice to those that have escaped it. Two detectives, David Felton and John Blanchard, are assigned to investigate what this man leaves behind, and they dont know whether to thank him for ridding the world of scum or hunt him down. When a serial rapist and murderer unleashes his gruesome talents, the two detectives hope their shadowy avenger will save them the trouble of finding the monster. But the clues arent adding up, and as Felton and Blanchard get closer to the truth, an unbelievable twist in the case makes them question their jobs and their role as protectors. A gripping, fast-paced thriller, Retribution delves into the gritty underbelly of crime and exposes the powerful, sometimes obsessive drive to bring the guilty to justice.
