Dante's Disciple


Book Description

No man has the right to kill another man-but if society can't or won't do its job-then I will. The bastards I had assassinated deserved to die-or worse- and like Charlie Bronson's vigilante friend, Paul Kersey, I'm more than willing to see they get every damn thing they deserve! They sentenced their victims to death and I returned the favor! Death, without the possibility of parole, is my way of showing respect for the sanctity of life, and is the only proven cure for recidivism. Not a single son-of-a-bitch I've had assassinated has ever killed again. Not one! As the pain subsided, the main character of "Dante's Disciple," KO-KO recalled "The Oxbow Incident," a western novel of vigilante injustice he had discovered as a child. My money gives me the power to act as judge, jury, and executioner- but does it give me the right? And what if I make a mistake? What if I execute an innocent man?
