Detroit in the 1970s was dark, cruel, and broken, just like Darius Whitaker's childhood. At only seven years old, he witnessed pain no child should ever see. Abused, silent, and scarred, Darius grew up in the shadows of violence.
Years later, he's no longer the scared boy hiding behind a door. He's a man with a mission. After the tragic death of his mother, Darius escapes prison with one goal: revenge. But he's not just after one man, he's hunting all the monsters who hurt the helpless. Abusers, predators, killers... they're all on his list. And he makes them pay.
Wearing a clown mask and leaving behind eerie 70s soul music, Darius becomes something more than just a killer. To some people, he's a hero, and to others, a nightmare. But to every abuser in the city... he's the last thing they'll ever see.
As police race to catch him, the city is thinking: is Darius a villain or the justice the world has been waiting for?
Curtis Harrison has put raw, emotional, and intense crime in his book that is also painful and brutal justice. It's a story about a broken boy who became a legend and crosses the line between hero and monster, which is easy to cross when the world pushes too far.
This is the story of a broken boy who became a legend-and the dangerous line between savior and monster. For fans of dark crime fiction, this is a must-read.
