What happens when the state can no longer protect its citizens? Shouldn't someone else step in? Erich Sassbeck finds himself in the wrong place at the wrong time and gets caught in a brutal brawl. Yet in the end, he is the one who survives, while his attackers lie dead—shot by an unknown hand. Sassbeck believes a miracle has saved him. The police, however, wonder if he might have been the one who fired the shots. In self-defense. Or worse: in vigilante justice. Journalist Ingo Praise soon finds evidence that Sassbeck's story is true. An unknown figure roams the city, protecting the innocent. Praise turns the "Angel of Vengeance" into a star—and inadvertently triggers a catastrophe. Bestselling author Andreas Eschbach has crafted a thrilling novel on the theme of vigilante justice with "Death Angel.".
