More About This Title Rough Justice

English

If you want to play the big boys' games, you have to fight by big boys' rules Dan "Spider" Shepherd is sent undercover to investigate a group of policemen in the Territorial Support Group. Fed up with all the paperwork and the fact that the system is geared to support the criminals rather than the victims, they have started to act as vigilantes, planting forensic evidence to frame known criminals, and moving on to more drastic methods. Spider is far from happy about deceiving fellow policemen, and things are complicated on other fronts for him too: his friend Jimmy Sharpe is tied up in an undercover investigation that is causing problems, and he's discovered an extremely disturbing film on his son's cell phone.

"The story builds to a boil . . . It’s a grand finale that’ll have readers on edge. Nicely, and seemingly effortlessly, done."  —Kirkus Reviews on Cold Kill"Leather has a gift for making pages fly by as bodies pile up, tension builds, and clues drop; effective, economical characterizations . . . captivate readers without hampering the rapid-fire narrative."  —Publishers Weekly on The Tunnel Rats"Spider Shepherd is my new hero . . . terrifically professional, from the plotting to characterization to the technical and military background. [Leather] takes the reader through . . . with total ease and command."  —Meg Gardiner, author, Kill Chain
