A vigilante ex-cop avenges the murder of a friend in this fast-paced
thriller from the New York Times-bestselling author of the Doc Ford
series.
When the police department told him to hold his fire, Hawker pulled the
trigger anyway--and killed a dangerous terrorist. Since losing his
badge, this hardnosed vigilante has been exiled from Chicago, the city
he loves more than any other. He returns for the sake of one man: Saul
Beckerman, a friend from the old neighborhood who has become one of the
richest people in the city. Since Hawker began his nationwide war
against organized crime, Beckerman has gotten into trouble with the
wrong people, and even the nation's most dangerous defender can't save
him now.
Hawker arrives at Beckerman's penthouse just as his cocktail party is
transforming into an orgy. Avoiding the writhing flesh of Chicago's most
powerful, Hawker takes his friend onto the balcony. He's about to ask
what's troubling the man when the air is rent by a gunshot. Beckerman
dead, Hawker sets out on a mission for bloody vengeance.
The author of Bone Deep and Night Moves "raises the bar of the
action thriller," and this entry in one of his early series delivers a
relentless, suspense-charged ride (The Miami Herald).
Chicago Assault is the 3rd book in the Hawker series, but you may
enjoy reading the series in any order.
