In the thirtieth anniversary edition of this classic thriller,
"Rampage gives a stunning twist to the expression 'war on crime.' The
dizzying action ranges from Manhattan's towering spires to the
labyrinths of the city's underworld; its plot has the speed and impact
of a jackhammer." --David Morrell
Chris Taggart is a ruthless, driven, real estate entrepreneur whose
buildings have changed the skyline of New York. Young, handsome,
irresistible to women, Taggart has won it all with his bare hands and
fierce ambition. But his dazzling success can never erase the bitter
memory of his father's death at the hands of the mob--and now Taggart
sets out to use his wealth and power to destroy the men whom he holds
responsible.
It is a secret vendetta--a war, in fact--that Taggart launches
single-handedly against the Five Families of New York. It pits him
against some of the toughest men in organized crime--as well as his own
brother, a crusading assistant U.S. attorney, one of the strikeforce
prosecutors.
Taggart risks his fortune, his reputation, finally his life, to get
revenge; only to find that he has instead become one of them, that his
triumph over criminals has turned him into a more dangerous threat than
any mob boss in New York.
