Publisher's Synopsis
Stark Justice follows the adventures of a retired police detective who travels around the country in an RV - looking for trouble that often finds him first.
Like a lot of men in his profession, he had a well-developed plan for his retirement. The RV was always part of it, his wife was the one who suggested it and she helped pick out the model down to the upholstery. But she died before he put his papers in; his only consolation was they had taken a weekend trip in the camper before she passed. She knew him, and made him swear he would not sell it, that he would go and live the life he really wanted. After he sold the house and pulled out of the driveway for the last time, he found the note she had left in the glovebox. He was free, she said. Free to complete the mission he had only just begun. In this edition, he solves the following cases: 1 - Mary, Mary: He answered a cry for help, but she loved her captor more than freedom. 2 - Brothers Grim: They had killed two women and a child, spent some time inside but now it was time to pay. 3 - Child Sacrifice: A family retreat is used as cover for their sick rituals, until justice arrives. 4 - Femme Fatale: A daughter wants revenge for her father's death; she also wants her inheritance money paid back. 5 - Body in the Muck: They dumped his body in the marsh, but they weren't counting on a witness. 6 - Pig Slaughter: Most serial killers can't shake the habit - and they always make a mistake. 7 - Eliminating a Nuisance: The old saying applies, "Never pick a fight because you don't know who you're messing with." 8 - Self-Deleting Gangsters: Witness Protection doesn't help the greedy who won't give up their ways. 9 - Trafficking: They were used for labor and begging and when that wasn't enough their organs were harvested and there was no one to help. 10 - Promotion Denied: They thought they got away and were ready to step into the big leagues, until they got demoted. 11 - Unsolicited Strategy: Muscle isn't enough to defend a wealthy enclave. Sometimes you have to get dirty. 12 - Jacked: Interrupting a crime is only the first step. You have to go to the source and eliminate it. 13 - Baby Harvesting: A decades-old horror is revealed to still be operating under a facade. 14 - Terrorist Deleted: He had a fetish for taking hostages and there was only one way to rehabilitate his desire. 15 - The Cult Business Model: The charismatic guru was just a front for a devious revenue stream - the real villain was the man pulling the strings.
