The Vigilante and the Dancer

Nicky has found the love of his life if he can stay alive, and out of prison long enough to enjoy it

Description

Nicky is sick of the violence he sees while driving a cab in the city. On the night of his brother Simon’s eighteenth birthday, a gang senselessly beat him to death, and Nicky hopes to find the men responsible. Nicky rescued Didi, a dancer, from two attackers, and they became friends as kindred spirits who both suffered a tragedy. But they have secrets. Didi’s secret is a daughter, and Nicky’s is that he is the Northbridge Vigilante who has killed men as they carried out violent crimes. Nicky’s last victim was the brother of a drug dealer, Jimmy Mallory, head of a powerful biker gang. The city explodes with gang warfare, fighting to control the drugs and nightclubs because of the murder of Mallory’s brother. The police are closing in on The Vigilante, but so is Mallory, who will stop at nothing to get revenge. Nicky has found the love of his life and finally someone to live for if only he can stay out of jail, and survive.

Originally published as The Vigilante Taxi, the story has gone through an extensive re-write and editing.

Here is a review from NN Light:

5.0 out of 5 stars A superb crime drama romance!

Reviewed in the United States on January 11, 2023

I have long loved reading the works of this author. This is a book that didn’t disappoint one iota! For the first time in any of these great books, I was totally a fan of the “bad” guy. The Vigilante is one you can cheer and cheer.

There is actually one line in this book that literally had me rolling on the floor and laughing out loud. I dropped my tabby! I won’t share it, simply get this book and see if you find the laugh I did.

The romance between Nicky and Didi is simply beautiful. Two lost souls who were swimming in fishbowls but found each other. The pacing and growth of the relationship was simply wonderful to read.

The work of the detective was spot on again. The actual bad guy was superbly bad and very easily hateable. The plot flows in a smooth fashion. The ending of the book will grip the reader with both hands. A fantastic book that is a great addition to the superb work of this author. If you are fan of Stephen B. King, then get this book. If you love a superb crime drama romance, then get this book. A great way to start off the new year with an excellent book.
