Army Special Agent John Puller is the best there is. A combat veteran, Puller is the man the U.S. Army relies on to investigate the toughest crimes facing the nation. Now he has a new case-but this time, the crime is personal: His aunt has been found dead in Paradise, Florida.
A picture-perfect town on Florida's Gulf Coast, Paradise thrives on the wealthy tourists and retirees drawn to its gorgeous weather and beaches. The local police have ruled his aunt's death an unfortunate, tragic accident. But just before she died, she mailed a letter to Puller's father, telling him that beneath its beautiful veneer, Paradise is not all it seems to be.
What Puller finds convinces him that his aunt's death was no accident . . . and that the palm trees and sandy beaches of Paradise may hide a conspiracy so shocking that some will go to unthinkable lengths to make sure the truth is never revealed.
When a different kind of justice is needed---swift, effective, and personal---a new type of avenger must take action. VENGEANCE features new stories by bestselling crime writers including Lee Child, Michael Connelly, Dennis Lehane, and Karin Slaughter, as well as some of today's brightest rising talents.
The heroes in these stories include a cop who's seen too much, a woman who has been pushed too far, or just an ordinary person doing what the law will not. Some call them vigilantes, others claim they are just another brand of criminal.
Edited and with an introduction by Lee Child, these stories reveal the shocking consequences when men and women take the law into their own hands.
Jo Nesbø The Bat
Before Harry took on the neo-Nazi gangs of Oslo,
before he met Rakel, before The Snowman tried to take everything he held dear, he
went to Australia.
Harry Hole is sent to Sydney
to investigate the murder of Inger Holter, a young Norwegian girl, who was
working in a bar. Initially sidelined as an outsider, Harry
becomes central to the Australian police investigation when they start to
notice a number of unsolved rape and murder cases around the country. The
victims were usually young blondes. Inger had a number of admirers, each with
his own share of secrets, but there is no obvious suspect, and the pattern of
the other crimes seems impossible to crack. Then a circus performer is brutally
murdered followed by yet another young woman. Harry is in a race against time
to stop highly intelligent killer, who is bent on total destruction.
