Harry Croft

<p>Rétrograde Justice: A novel by Max Barrington</p><p>When justice goes soft one man turns hard.</p><p>In Rétrograde Justice Max Barrington delivers a razor-edged thriller that asks how far a man will go when the law won't go far enough.</p><p>Harry Croft freshly retired and grieving the sudden senseless death of his wife at the hands of reckless youths finds no solace in a justice system that favours leniency over consequence. Driven by fury and haunted by loss Harry takes justice into his own hands-first with the young offenders then with a far more sinister figure from his past now hiding in plain sight as a priest.</p><p>As investigators circle and suspicion mounts Harry enlists the help of a shadowy old acquaintance Nick Oboden to stage his own death and vanish into a new life abroad. But the past isn't finished with him. Nor is Harry finished with the past.</p><p>Explosive morally complex and deeply human Rétrograde Justice is a journey into the heart of vengeance-and what it takes to come out the other side.</p><p>Perfect for fans of Lee Child and John le Carré Max Barrington's latest is a masterclass in tension character and cold-blooded resolve.</p>
