Аннотация

Crime is the American preoccupation. And in this novel the author of the controversial, best-selling Death Wish continues his dramatic inquest into crime and retribution. Vigilanteeism: Does it solve any problems, or does it only create new ones? And is it the answer to the problem of criminals who have been “recycled” because of jammed court dockets and the prevalent, quick-solution use of plea-bargaining? In DEATH SENTENCE the reader sees the grisly consequences of one man’s private campaign of vengeance. What happens when innocent people are influenced by widespread vigilante publicity into taking the law into their own hands? What happens in the mind of an avenger when he discovers that another vigilante is imitating his private crusade against the criminals of the streets? And what happens when vigilantes shake the very foundation of our legal system? DEATH SENTENCE, continuing the drama and saga of Death Wish’s Paul Benjamin, is a stark and searing portrait of a man pushed by circumstances to desperate extremes of action. Is he a hero for our time? A psychotic villain? Or merely a quixotic fool? In search of answers to these questions Brian Garfield probes deeply into the heart of one desperate man, and the city in which that man wields his gun. DEATH SENTENCE is a novel that demands to be read. It is a novel as timely as today’s headlines... with a fearsome portent for tomorrow’s.
