Book excerpt: A former US Marine receives a terminal prognosis. But when a local priest is accused of molesting children, he hears the calling of another mission. He enlists a coterie of like-minded patients to seek his brand of justice. Will his fight against evil and his own internal demons come too close to home? Book one in the Vigilante Angels trilogy. A dark, gritty, noir crime novel series, available in paperback, ebook, and audiobook. If you were going to die, who would you kill? Tommy, a retired cop and former Marine, has cancer. He realizes he can kill without consequences, and he's got a list. Pedophile priest, corrupt cop, fascist political candidate--where to start? He enlists the help of an unlikely cast of unusual fellow patients to target his hit list. The hardest battles, the ones he hadn't counted on, are right in his own home: an alcoholic, unfaithful wife and bringing himself to accept his son's sexuality. In book one of this trilogy, Tommy befriends a black ex-con who is a fellow patient. As both seek redemption for their past misdeeds, and with nothing to lose, they set their sights on a priest who is accused of molesting children. Will his fight for good come closer to home than he imagined?
