An anonymous killer is stalking the San Fernando Valley's most despised criminals; child molesters. Outraged by the failure of the criminal justice system to make them pay for their heinous crimes, someone has taken the law into lethal hands. It's payback time. This thriller takes the headline news into a D.A.'s life, who insists on prosecuting sexual predators and frustrated with the inability of society to use the "fullest extent of the law" to prosecute. Rebecca Fielding, the D.A. becomes a victim of the hunt for the killer and the drama moves to the court. This is a brilliant, thought-provoking and conscience prodding indictment of the justice system. Shari Geller is a lawyer and experienced counselor in treatment programs for sex offenders and grippingly draws on her expertise in her first novel to create an unforgettable read.
