Criminal Code

By John Scheck

When the elite legal firms of Beverly Hills need problems erased for their most select clients, not argued in court or boardrooms, they contract downward to lesser law offices-ethically compromised "ambulance chasers" with no qualms about getting their hands dirty. Shadowy intermediaries are summoned like genies and the best of these is Tag, a veteran fixer with a brutal past, a dark personal code, and a clear warning to clients: vengeance comes at a cost they may not be able to afford in the end. But in Los Angeles, the rich are used to getting what they want, making Tag a very busy and rich man.

Contracted for a devastating act of retribution against Walter Greene, a Hollywood mogul with a dark legacy of sexual abuse, Tag penetrates Greene's guarded world to exact the revenge his client sought, winning a battle but starting a war. Far from learning his lesson, Greene enlists his own fixer. Morgan is competent, detached, and even more ruthless. But instead of two champions from mythology facing off, like David and Goliath, or Achilles and Hector, Tag and Morgan don't see themselves as enemies but friendly competitors in an illicit market that's booming.

What follows is a shadowy war of revenge and spiraling violence, well outside the boundaries of the law and society.
