Adjourned
From #1 New York Times bestselling author Lee Goldberg comes the second thrilling book in action-packed JURY SERIES, the novels that launched his career in the 1980s.
After a family tragedy, Brett Macklin has sworn to take the law into his own hands and make the guilty pay. This time, Macklin's target is Wesley Saputo, porn kingpin and murderer, who has slipped through the courts time after time, only to kidnap, rape and kill again...and again. Macklin's mission: locate and destroy Saputo before he finds another innocent life to destroy.
"Top-shelf 80's adventure fiction. The Mr. Jury books are probably about the most fun you can have doing so vicarious vigilanting. There's a reason Goldberg is still a successful author. There's plenty of smooth and fast action that builds to a nice high-energy "action-movie" finale, colorful characters, some Hollywood in-jokes, different ways to use ice cream and a lot of fun banter."

"The second installment in the sexy, violent, and thrilling The Jury series. The writing style is clear and concise, giving us a front row seat at an action movie for the mind’s eye. While fans of his police procedurals (e.g., the superlative Malibu Burning and the gritty Lost Hills) might find themselves somewhat shocked by the material, the storytelling remains true to Goldberg’s later styles. There’s humor, there are people worth cheering for, and villains we want to see taken down. Not a bad time, all told." Considering Stories Blog
(Originally published as "Make Them Pay," the second book in the ".357 Vigilante" series, under the pen name Ian Ludlow.)
