Synopsis
Four bizarre, high-profile killings in two days. Even for the NYPD's elite Major Case Squad, that's quite a bloody handful. All four victims were themselves predators; violent drug dealers and thugs who preyed on New York's most vulnerable. But as Detective First Grade Brian McKenna and his partner Cisco Sanchez, are about to learn, it's only just begun to hit the fan. What really sets these killings apart is when the killer contacts the press, boldly detailing each of the victim's transgressions in a letter signed only with the name, "Justice." And when substantial sums of money taken from the criminals begins to appear in the collection plates of various religious and social groups around the city, it seems that a lethal Robin Hood has emerged to take back the city's streets. But Brooklyn isn't Sherwood Forest, and Robin Hood never savagely tortured his victims before slaying them. Now, caught between a public cheering for their quarry and the crushing pressure of the Commissioner's office, McKenna and Sanchez, have to track down an imaginative and efficient killing machine who shows no signs of slowing his mortal vengeance.

Review
"Mahoney displays a well-honed knowledge of the give-and-take of tough investigations-at times, this absorbing novel reads like a police procedural handbook. It's his ear for sharp dialogue, though, and propensity for narrative surprises that make this taut, timely story such a thrill.""-Entertainment Weekly" "Ex-cop Mahoney's eighth masterful police procedural (after The Protectors) again brings together New York's most famous sleuth, the brilliant but unassuming Det. Brian McKenna, and his infamous sidekick, gifted but boorish Cisco Sanchez...Mahoney is a genius at transforming the details of the workaday police grind into a spellbinding thriller, and he is in top form here. His characters are fully human, their moral quandaries wrenching."-"Publishers Weekly" (starred review) "The eighth, and funniest police procedural from the retired NYPD captain...a career peak.""-Kirkus Reviews "
