Necessary Evil

1990 - Atlanta, Georgia

Is there a serial killer on the prowl? Or is someone just yanking the blindfold off Lady Justice?

“The Bible says, “If men strive, and hurt a woman…

He shall be punished. Though shalt give life for life.

Eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand,

Foot for foot, Burning for burning,

Wound for wound, stripe for stripe.”

I say, “Heaven and victims raged

As another beast was set free.

Taking an eye for an eye was left up to me.

If Justice is blind or her hands are bound,

Rejoice, Good Citizens, for I am around.”

It was signed The Avenger in typed print

Now justice had a name and Lt. Dan Mallory and his squad had to stop him from avenging heinous crimes against women.

But The Avenger proved smarter and more deadly than any killer they had ever

tracked. No clues. No forensics. Nothing - but a trail of mutilated bodies of men the courts had set free on technicalities.

Were the victims connected? And were they really victims or just finally paying for their crimes?

Lt. Dan Mallory had his suspicions. Crime reporter James Starr knew more than he should about The Avenger and his victims. And Starr also knew more than he should about Mallory's past.
