In this gripping final novel from acclaimed producer and bestselling author Stephen J. Cannell, LAPD detective Shane Scully and his partner Sumner Hitchens find themselves entangled in a sinister web of murder, media manipulation, and vigilante justice.
Lita Mendez, a vocal police critic and gang activist, is found dead in her home. Detectives Scully and Hitchens fear the worst: a killer within the LAPD's ranks. As they investigate, they're confronted by Nixon Nash, charismatic host of the hit reality show "Vigilante TV." Nash is determined to solve the murder before the cops, and he presents Scully and Hitchens with an ultimatum: join his team, or face a public takedown.
But Scully sees through Nash's folk-hero facade. The TV host will stop at nothing for self-promotion, even murder. As the investigation intensifies, Scully must risk everything to save himself and the job he loves in this electrifying thriller from the "master of the police procedural" (Robert Crais). Vigilante is a riveting tale of corruption, conspiracy, and one cop's unwavering pursuit of justice.
