Vigilant / The Consultant
(2009)(A book in the Vigilante Omnibus series)
An omnibus of novels by Claude Bouchard
The first two thrillers of the VIGILANTE Series in one volume!
Vigilante: Montreal, the long, hot summer of 1996, and in the dark of night, moving like a shadowy wraith, a vigilante prowls the city's streets. The targets of his bloody rampage, the worst of the worst; murderers, gangbangers, rapists... Six months, sixteen murders and the harried police are still without a clue, until they receive an email from the assassin himself. Lieutenant Dave McCall, head of Montreal's Special Homicide Task Force, needs help to crack the secrets of the killer's taunting message. He calls on an expert, Chris Barry, who runs a security firm specializing in computer communications. Together, McCall and Barry launch a grim quest to track down a man who preys on predators - an urgent quest to bring this remorseless killer to justice. But whose justice will prevail? Theirs, or the Vigilante's?
The Consultant: The friendly takeover of CSS Inc. leaves computer executive Chris Barry unemployed, very wealthy and pleased with the situation. But the hiatus is short-lived... As a result of his involvement in the recent Vigilante investigation, Barry is approached by Jonathan Addley, head of Discreet Activities, and invited to join the clandestine government agency. Accepting, he promptly takes on his first assignment under the guise of an IT consultant, to investigate possible links between a local import business and the murder of its MIS director. As he discovers the firm is being used for narcotics trafficking, his cover is blown and things get personal, spurring him to show that murderers, drug lords, biker gangs and kidnappers are no match for The Consultant...
