Stark Justice: Case Files Book 5

By: Michael McGavin

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Stark Justice follows the adventures of a retired police detective who travels around the country in an RV - looking for trouble that often finds him first.

Like a lot of men in his profession, he had a well-developed plan for his retirement. The RV was always part of it, his wife was the one who suggested it and she helped pick out the model down to the upholstery. But she died before he put his papers in; his only consolation was they had taken a weekend trip in the camper before she passed. She knew him, and made him swear he would not sell it, that he would go and live the life he really wanted. After he sold the house and pulled out of the driveway for the last time, he found the note she had left in the glovebox. He was free, she said. Free to complete the mission he had only just begun.

In this edition, he solves the following cases:

1 – Shootout on Aisle 7: Big Box stores are wide open and so well-lit and make for great target practice.

2 – Helping People Help Themselves: To solve a string of arsons he teaches people how to connect the dots that lead to their own front door.

3 – That’s Disgusting: An old-fashioned deviant was hiding right out in the open until he decided to spend more time with his family.

4 – Childlike Revenge: Don't overcomplicate a kidnapping by taking more than one child - two is a problem, three is a gang.

5 – He Put a Target on His Own Back: A whistleblower's career is always nasty, brutish and short.

6 – Culling the Weak: It's a mixed blessing when the worst conspiracy theory comes true - you have to do something about it.

7 – Benevolence for the Stupid: When God gives you a second chance, he doesn't necessarily think you are going to succeed. But He still grants them.

8 – Next Generation Crime Prevention: Keeping out the riff-raff is always a matter of charging at the door - and being well-armed.

9 – Mutant Rehab: Digging a grave may be one of the most underrated behavior modification tactics available - it's just so visceral.

10 – Up in Smoke: A nearly foolproof way to get rid of the body is discovered - so good in fact it was used to get rid of theirs.

11 – Misdirection For A Cause: On a park bench, wisdom is dispensed whether or not they are able to understand. But he did save at least one life.

12 – Death on the Menu: The robbery was an inconvenience, but it did not keep him from enjoying the world's greatest grilled cheese sandwich.

13 - Conversion Therapy: It was a brute level scam that was ended with definitive violence.

14 – Land Pirates: They don't fly the Black Flag, but you see them every day. They plunder and they disrupt, and they are tough, but they are not invincible.
