Synopsis: The first book in the classic vigilante action series from a &“writer who spawned a genre&” (The New York Times). Overseas, Mack Bolan was dubbed &“Sgt. Mercy&” for the compassion he showed the innocent. On the home front, they&’re calling him the Executioner for what he&’s doing to the guilty. In the jungles of Southeast Asia, American sniper Mack Bolan honed his skills. After twelve years, with ninety-five confirmed hits, he returns home to Massachusetts. But it&’s not to reunite with his family, it&’s to bury them—victims in a mass murder/suicide. Even though Bolan&’s own father pulled the trigger, he knows the old man was no killer. He was driven to madness by Mafia thugs who have turned his idyllic hometown into a new kind of war zone. Duty calls . . . Introducing an action hero &“who would make Jack Reacher think twice,&” this is the first book in the iconic series of vigilante justice that has become a publishing phenomenon (Empireonline.com). With more than two hundred million Executioner books sold since its debut, the series continues to stimulate. Gerry Conway, cocreator of Marvel Comics&’ The Punisher, credits the Executioner as &“my inspiration . . . that&’s what gave me the idea for the lone, slightly psychotic avenger.&” The series is also now in development as a major motion picture. War Against the Mafia is the 1st book in the Executioner series, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order.
