Book Cover & Preview Text
He had, after all, never been able to discern any such telltale sign on any of his previous “visits” to Albert’s home. Indeed, for most of his adult life, The Man had studied men like Albert Moran. He had, however, never discovered what made them tick to that strange cadence that made them who they were. But still he had hoped, perhaps this time and at this place in his own life, there might have been some inkling, no matter how small, as to what had made this man different. With a sigh, The Man decided that whatever made Albert who he was would now forever be a secret—a secret once again hidden from him. For the second time that night he flipped open the manila folder which lay in his lap, turned on the small flashlight, which he then held between his teeth as he slowly turned the pages, rereading the account of who Albert Moran really was, harsh facts made harsher by the act of committing them to print, emotionless words that spelled out the life and times of Albert Moran, in all of its pathetic and vile darkness. The Man knew something that Albert, at this moment, did not. He knew that tonight Albert would die.

About the 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 don’t 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 aren’t 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.
