Private Justice

In his dark and, it must be said, rather warped Private Justice, attorney and former PI Richard Sand presents a second Lucas Rook mystery after 2000's Tunnel Runner. Having avenged his brother's death in the first book, Rook has retired from the NYPD to work for a mobster whose daughter was murdered; as more girls get killed, Rook finds himself dealing with a host of bizarre characters a cat lady, a deformed piano teacher and a pedophile who works at a cheese counter and racing against the clock to discover who's to blame before another girl is murdered.
