Publisher's Summary
An eye for an eye.
They are battered women, grieving parents, and burglarized homeowners who responded to criminal violence by taking the law into their own hands. Their cases have struck a deep chord in American society. Are they victims of a failing judicial system or criminals themselves? True crime writer Gary Provost examines the stories of ordinary citizens who have taken on the roles of judge, jury and - sometimes - executioner. Are their acts a higher form of justice...or merely revenge? You decide:
- Bernhard Goetz, who shot four teenagers when they approached him on a subway train and demanded money
- The young man who gunned down his own friend for killing his teenaged sister in a drunk-driving accident
- The mother who risked her life to track down and apprehend her daughter's rapist
- "Grambo", the Dallas grandmother who held a burglar at gunpoint for 45 minutes while waiting for the police
- The battered wife who hired a hit man to murder her husband after 17 years of abuse
