What if your local police, frustrated by laws requiring them to respect the constitutional rights of suspects, maintained a relationship with a secret group of highly trained vigilantes who could be called upon to make problems go away? AND WHAT if the leaders of such a group amassed such power and ambition that they ultimately became accountable to no one – not even their own well-intentioned foot soldiers? WELCOME to Stranglehold, a new novel by Katherine Jeffries that takes us through the story of Grant Steele, Gemma Pearl and Trent Roth as they confront the moral dilemmas inherent in the fight against crime, even as she exposes the shocking and troubling world of those who find themselves in this shadowy world, whether they volunteered or were sucked in – or something in between.
