Om denne e-boken
Now a major motion picture starring Bruce Willis, this look into a vigilante’s mind is “a scary novel about life and death” (The New York Times).
Edgar Award–winning author Brian Garfield takes a chilling and nuanced look at an ordinary husband and father who loses his family to a brutal crime and spirals into a dangerous obsession.
When his wife and daughter are attacked in their home, Paul Benjamin’s world collapses. Drug addicts have broken into his cozy Upper West Side apartment, leaving his wife dead and his daughter comatose. After his shock wears off, and frustrated by police inaction, Benjamin decides to take justice into his own hands. But as he pursues criminals solo, Paul’s vigilantism threatens to spin out of control and destroy him as well . . .
Originally filmed in 1974 and starring Charles Bronson, the 2018 release is directed by Eli Roth and stars Bruce Willis, Vincent D’Onofrio, and Elisabeth Shue.

Om forfatteren
The author of more than seventy books, Brian Garfield (1939–2018) is one of the country’s most prolific writers of thrillers, westerns, and other genre fiction. Raised in Arizona, Garfield found success at an early age, publishing his first novel when he was only eighteen. After time in the army, a few years touring with a jazz band, and earning an MA from the University of Arizona, he settled into writing full-time.
Garfield served as president of the Mystery Writers of America and the Western Writers of America, the only author to have held both offices. Nineteen of his novels have been made into films, including Death Wish (1972), The Last Hard Men (1976), and Hopscotch (1975), for which he wrote the screenplay. To date, his novels have sold over twenty million copies worldwide.
