About this ebook

When a different kind of justice is needed - swift, effective, and personal - a new type of avenger must take action.

Edited and with an introduction by Lee Child, a new collection of stories which reveals the shocking consequences when men and women take the law into their own hands.
Vengeance features new stories by bestselling crime writers including Lee Child, Michael Connelly, Dennis Lehane, and Karin Slaughter, as well as some of today's brightest rising talents.
The heroes in these stories include a cop who's seen too much, a woman who has been pushed too far, or just an ordinary person doing what the law will not. Some call them vigilantes, others claim they are just another brand of criminal...

Ratings and reviews

The editing is awful, I couldn't read it for the omission of the apostrophe, not just here and there but throughout the entire book. Sorry, the stories might be good but something has gone wrong in the publication process to miss off every single apostrophe.

Stories are good but the shocking omission of the apostrophe is horrifying. Really annoying! American English, I can live with but this is a step too far. Lee Child ought to be ashamed himself.

Very dissapoonted. I was expecting a novel like Jack Reacher. I only found a collection of short stories, none if them so far by Lee Childs who I like as an author. Totally not what I expected and sorry I paid money to purchase it.
