Opis

Law of Retaliation Book one: "Two bright, extraordinary people on different continents cross paths in their quests to remedy injustice in Ernst's debut thriller ... An invigorating, analytical look at vigilantism that neither condemns nor condones it." -Kirkus Reviews "Inhumanum is a genre in itself. The prose is thick, intense and urgent. The style runs the gamut from the grotesque via the absurd and back ..." -Magnus Stanke, author of Falling in Death and Love Fans of John Irving, Kurt Vonnegut and James Ellroy will enjoy Bradley Ernst. Bonn Maddox is ambivalent toward the massive ill-gotten fortune he inherited, but he does prize a water-stained document that hangs in his father's study. It's generations old ... a black market treasure. Inspiration turns to obsession, The butcher considers his calling a societal reckoning: a deep moral debt owed for his family's predatory greed. The maimed vigilante enlists a pair of eccentric Germans to grow his operation. Discreet, reptile-like savants, they are financial gurus but have their own secrets. When Henna Maxwell, a toxicologist with a rare passion for venom, seeks refuge, Bonn may have risked his freedom. The death count soars. New York City's top homicide team has profiled an inhumanly strong and opportunistic loner who's always a step ahead. Has the hunter graduated to Brownsville? The detectives-an ex-boxer and his pregnant partner-have unknowingly assumed terrible risks. They couldn't guess how personal the killer's hunt has become. Now, more than just thugs are in trouble ... those who consider themselves untouchables are next.
