Welcome to St. Louis, where justice comes from the barrel of a gun.

When a sadistic gang leader is murdered, Detective Darren Cutright suspects old-fashioned street justice. But when more criminals turn up dead, he discovers a chilling pattern. Someone is hunting the predators the courts refuse to prosecute.

And the list of victims keeps growing.

While Darren and his wisecracking partner debate if they should even stop the killer, rookie cop Mike Clark gets an education in the broken legal system—with a front-row seat to the shadowy vigilante’s brutal handiwork.

As more offenders meet unsanctioned justice, everyone becomes a suspect—or a target. But as Darren closes in on the culprit, he draws a terrifying conclusion.

Written by a former St. Louis police officer and inspired by real events, Justice is a relentless crime thriller that blends the authenticity of Joseph Wambaugh with the page-turning momentum of Michael Connelly.
