The Punisher

MAKE THE PUNISHMENT FIT THE CRIME.

FBI agent Frank Castle's final case ends with a literal bang, when a wannabe weapons smuggler is gunned down during a sting operation. But the deadman isn't just any punk. He's the son of Howard Saint, the powerful Florida tycoon whose hot-spot nightclub has made him famous, and whose multimillion-dollar money-laundering business has made him asrich-and as ruthless--as any of his gangster clients.

Saint wants payback--with interest--for his boy's death. And he gets it, by orchestrating a massacrethat claims the lives of Frank Castle's beloved wife and son-and almost kills Castle. But almost doesn't count. Now Frank Castle--ex-FBI agent, ex-Special Forcescommando, ex-husband and father-is canceling his retirement and starting a new career. One that begins with teaching Howard Saint the ultimate lesson: No evil deed goesunpunished. "From the Paperback edition."
