From the internationally bestselling author of In an Instant and Hadley & Grace comes Two Good Men, a searing drama about two men on a quest for justice—from opposite sides of the law.

Dick Raynes feared this day would come. Otis Parsons, a violent felon, has been released from prison, and Dick's sister, Dee, is the one who helped put him there. Dick's marriage is over, and his career is in shambles, so with nothing to lose, he sets out to do whatever it takes to keep Dee and her son safe. But Otis is just the beginning. Using his knowledge as a scientist to develop a formula able to predict those offenders most likely to strike again, he sets out to protect future victims the law is powerless to defend.

FBI agent Steve Patterson investigates crimes against those who have paid their dues for past mistakes, running a department he created after his son was killed by a vigilante mother who targeted the wrong person. Recognizing a disturbing pattern of untimely deaths in recently released felons, he sets out to discover who's behind it. What he doesn't expect is to find another chance at love—with the sister of the man he is chasing.

Dick's sense of right and wrong is tested as he pursues and neutralizes the most dangerous threats, while Steve makes it his mission to stop this vigilante serial killer before he is labeled a hero. Both men pursue a noble cause, but only one can prevail.

      Redfearn (In an Instant) impresses in this taut thriller about an FBI agent tasked with trailing a desperate vigilante. Physician Dick Raynes is aghast when he learns that sex offender Otis Parsons has been released from prison early and has moved next door to his sister, Dee. Twelve years earlier, Otis raped the younger brother of Dee’s then boyfriend; when Dee gave birth to a son while Otis was incarcerated, Otis sent her a taunting note saying that he couldn’t wait to meet the boy. Convinced that Otis will assault Dee’s son at the earliest opportunity, Raynes feels he has no choice but to take the law into his own hands. When Otis dies, officials chalk it up to anaphylactic shock from peanut exposure, but FBI agent Steve Patterson, who investigates crimes against sex offenders, suspects he was murdered. Eventually, Patterson discovers a string of similarly suspicious deaths—most carried out by Raynes, who’s become obsessed with doling out justice to sexual predators. The resulting Heat-style battle of wits between Raynes and Patterson remains consistently gripping as Redfearn excavates each man’s ever-shifting definitions of right and wrong. This tense and thought-provoking game of cat and mouse isn’t easy to shake. Agent: Gordon Warnock, Fuse Literary.
