Produktbeschreibung
When security guard Jimmie Wainwright is given an impossible choice by vindictive gangsters, he becomes an unwilling participant in the murder of his boss. But it's only one in a series of linked deaths and chain of events-all of which lead back to the villainous Milton Talbot. Police forces work together across the US-Canada border to investigate the homicides and protect Jimmie and his family by placing them in witness protection-including his school-age daughter. Milton's gangsters also threaten and extort Judge Nancy Beckett, who is coerced into a mockery of justice and resorts to unorthodox methods to try save her own family. A page-turner about a trail of murders and corruption in the justice system, this vigilante tale follows what happens when legal channels fail. Part crime novel, courtroom drama, and love story, Everyone Wants to Kill Milton presents a classic moral dilemma for all its characters-as well as the reader-who must decide whether to take the law into their hands when faced with evil.
