Avenging Angel
by Frank Rich
INNER-CITY HELL…
CIRCA 2031
The city rises like an evil vision from its surroundings… the heavily guarded suburbs, the garrisoned farmlands. Life is sweeter in the fortified elite Hill section where the privileged few live, but elsewhere the city makes its own rules for life and death.
Even in this ruthless, anything-goes world, Jake Strait has his limits — a line that he won't cross willingly. He won't do political jobs. But when a rich, pampered couple from the Hill sets him up, he is drawn into a plot that plans to drench the city with blood.
AGAINST HIS WILL, JAKE STRAIT BECOMES THE FAVORITE SON OF A PEOPLE'S REVOLUTION — AND THERE'S HELL TO PAY.
