1. AND JUSTICE FOR ONE – If someone you loved were savagely beaten and left in a coma, how far would you go to find justice?
How far could you go if those responsible for the crime were protected by power, money, and corrupt police?
For most of us, not too far. For Jack Devlin, as far as it takes to get justice, even if it means descending into the lawless underworld of New York after-hours clubs where sex and drugs fuel the madness, and the men behind the criminal enterprise kill without hesitation.
AND JUSTICE FOR ONE is set in 1980’s New York City during a time when many New Yorkers put their heads down, accepted the unacceptable, and hoped they’d come out okay. Perhaps not so different from today.
That’s why AND JUSTICE FOR ONE is such a satisfying and compelling page-turner. The reader gets to walk with a man who has the guts, brains, and determination fight for what’s right – no matter what.
2. ONE MAN’S LAW – One brutal murder ignites a war.
Prepare to encounter a Hawaii you never knew existed – a place of poverty, racism, crime, violence, and militarism, all of which stoke the unrest of a deeply disenfranchised population.
This is the world that Jack Devlin encounters in a remote area on the Big Island of Hawaii, when he investigates the savage murder of a homeless Vietnam vet.
Why don’t the police seem to care? Why are the suspects acting like they’re above the law? Is it because the victim is a nobody?
Maybe to some, but not to Jack Devlin. The victim, Billy Cranston, served with Jack Devlin in Vietnam. He not only saved Delvin’s life, he changed Devlin’s life forever.
To Devlin, Billy Cranston is a true American hero, and his death is an abomination that will not go unavenged.
In order to right this wrong, Devlin is going to have to face regrets from the past; grief, rage, and a deep sense of loss in the present; and go to war against an escalating series of powerful enemies.
When Devlin sets out on this journey, nothing is certain except one thing – when it comes to righteous vengeance, Jack Devlin is going to follow one law – his.
3. Death Comes Due – How do you stop a monster from destroying you when you helped create him?
James Beck and fellow ex-con Demarco Jones, an exceptionally efficient killer, are enjoying a quiet morning in Beck’s private waterfront bar in Red Hook, Brooklyn, until they realize Manny Guzman, a tough, reclusive member of their crew, is missing.
A few blocks south near the Gowanus canal, hard-charging NYPD Deputy Inspector Dianne Brennan stands in the bowels of the twelve-story derelict Red Hook Grain Terminal staring at a burned and twisted corpse under the unforgiving glare of police emergency lights. Another corpse, mutilated by multiple stab wounds, is found at the end of nearby Pier 44. Beck quickly becomes the prime suspect in both murders.
Suddenly, Beck’s world is under attack. He vowed to build a life for himself and the men he trusts after their release from prison. Unfortunately, an unseen enemy has also made a vow: Destroy everything Beck has, kill everyone he loves, and make Beck suffer the most horrifying death imaginable.
Beck has no idea who his enemy is or why he’s out to destroy him. If Beck can discover what unleashed the vengeance crashing down on him, set aside his hatred of a corrupt justice system, and make an alliance with Dianne Brennan, he might have a chance to survive. But what chance does he have of doing that without giving the NYPD everything it needs to send him back to prison forever?
4. Tribes – United we stand.
Divided we fall.
And we will always be divided.
Sitting under the stars sipping good Irish whiskey in an out-of-the-way watering hole in upstate New York, ex-con James Beck thinks that leaving behind Covid and the conflicts surrounding him in Red Hook, Brooklyn had been a pretty good move. Until he steps between a gutsy little woman standing up to a local thug. Beck puts the tough guy on his knees with a single punch, but it’s enough to ignite a devastating spiral of violence.
Beck is suddenly fighting for his life against a vicious white supremacist gang known as the Kin. Their ruthless supreme leader, Camdyn Dent, believes he and the Kin have the right to exploit anybody they deem inferior in any way they choose without a shred of remorse. Those who dare oppose them face torture and death.
Beck reaches out to his loyal group of fellow ex-cons for help. It means going to war against an untold number of heavily armed fanatics on their home ground, protected by fellow gang members in local law enforcement.
Can Beck and his few brave men prevail? Only if he unleashes the seeds of destruction hidden in the hate filled hearts of his enemies.
