A Different Kind of Justice is a literary suspense novel about Dante Carbone. A brilliant-self-made Italian-American executive from East Utica, New York who has spent a lifetime mastering the the world that looked out of reach to him as a child. Only to begin quietly judging the twelve people who most deeply wounded him, his family and his sense of worth. Those figures from different phases of his life begin dying in ways, that seem accidental, natural, or undeservedly convenient. The novel is both a revenge story and a moral reckoning. Asking whether the law is the only form of justice and when a man of great discipline, intelligence, and loyalty decides that for some sins, justice of another kind is the only kind that remains.
