A renowned criminal psychologist crosses over into vigilantism

Dr. Marvin Seaverman, a criminal psychologist and police consultant, has always wanted to protect children, but when he cannot even protect his own daughter, Debbie, something breaks inside him. Feeling powerless and frustrated, Merv turns his fury against the very fiends his training has taught him to understand: abusers of children.

For over a decade, Merv has methodically catfished pedophiles, murdering the most egregious abusers, while successfully covering his tracks. All this time, the NYPD has remained oblivious to the existence of a vigilante serial killer in their city.

This week, Merv has slipped, and Detective Sharone Lazar of the 101st precinct—Debbie’s closest friend since childhood—has discerned the pattern. Sharone has not yet figured out the killer’s identity, but it is only a matter of time.

Doing What It Takes

A reclusive ex-mobster leads his protégé to the top of a local gang

Jerry Kaufman was a Jewish gangster in 1950s Bronx. With a gift for strategy and a hard punch, Jerry was a rising star in the Italian mob, when he was betrayed and forced to abandon the life. Now a wheelchair-bound widower in his 90s, Jerry lives in near-isolation in a suburb just outside the Florida Everglades.

Looking back on his life, Jerry cannot shake the feeling that he missed his chance, so when he witnesses his caretaker’s son, Amede Delwa, beaten in a gang fight, Jerry sees an opportunity to try again, this time by proxy.

Amede is a Haitian man trying to make it in a Cuban gang, an outsider’s struggle Jerry viscerally understands. Sharp, strong, and charismatic, Amede has the skills to make it big. What he lacks in experience, Jerry can supply, along with money, connections, and strategy. But it will be up to Amede to do what it takes
