Montreal, summer of 1996 and in the dark of night, a vigilante prowls the city’s streets. The targets of his bloody rampage: Murderers. Gang bangers. Rapists.

Six months. Sixteen murders. The harried police are without a clue until they receive an email from the assassin himself. Lieutenant Dave McCall needs help to track the killer’s message and calls on Chris Barry who runs a security firm specializing in computer communications.

Together, they launch a grim quest to bring this remorseless killer to justice. But whose justice will prevail: theirs or the vigilante’s?

Joey Pinkney: Where did you get the inspiration to write “Vigilante”?

Claude Bouchard: Though “Vigilante” has nothing to do with O.J. Simpson, it is while watching his trial during the summer of 1995 that the idea for my book was born. As it became apparent that Simpson was literally getting away with murder, I got to thinking of writing a story about someone out there “administering” a crueler justice to those who slipped through the system’s loopholes.

The year is 1930. Beautiful, witty Devon is the daughter of a prominent Virginia family. Many men have fallen under her spell, but none has captured her heart, until she meets New York tycoon John Alexander. Their future seems assured: they will marry, raise a family, turn their country estate into the best Thoroughbred farm in the nation. But what Devon cannot foresee are the conflicts that will drive away her husband or the tragedy that will devastate their marriage.

Be transported from lush Virginia hunt country to sophisticated New York and the embassies of Paris. Travel from the Hollywood glamor of Hearst castle in its heyday to the turmoil of war-torn Cairo, and the enclaves of aristocratic England. Devon’s tale takes you through the decades from peaceful pre-war America to the danger of World War II, and the racial unrest of the South of the 1950s and’60s.

Enjoy the thrill of Thoroughbred racing with one of the first women to break into the male-dominated sport and one of the first African-American men to become renowned as a world-class trainer.

Joey Pinkney: Where did you get the inspiration to write “Regret Not a Moment”?

Nicole McGehee: I read an obituary of a woman who was a revolutionary in the male-dominated world of Thoroughbred racing. I thought the theme of a female ground-breaker would be compatible with the idea of a fictional African-American employee (soon-to-be good friend) becoming a ground-breaker in his own right.
