About This Book
A city crime mystery begins when a murdered young addict is found with a playing card, triggering a series of anonymous warnings and a vigilante campaign. A powerful, secretive magnate falls under suspicion while a resolute head of criminal intelligence investigates a masked avenger linked to the card. The plot moves through courtroom drama, undercover inquiries, abduction and pursuit, and the dismantling of an organized gang, examining themes of retribution, the uneasy overlap of lawful investigation and private justice, and the moral ambiguities that arise when corruption is fought by unorthodox means.
