Jack Devlin Books

If someone you loved were savagely beaten and left in a coma, how far would you go to find justice? How far could you go if those responsible for the crime were protected by power, money, and corrupt police? For most of us, not too far. For Jack Devlin, as far as it takes to get justice, even if it means descending into the lawless underworld of New York after-hours clubs where sex and drugs fuel the madness, and the men behind the criminal enterprise kill without hesitation. AND JUSTICE FOR ONE is set in 1980’s New York City during a time when many New Yorkers put their heads down, accepted the unacceptable, and hoped they’d come out okay. Perhaps not so different from today. That’s why AND JUSTICE FOR ONE is such a satisfying and compelling page-turner. The reader gets to walk with a man who has the guts, brains, and determination fight for what’s right – no matter what. This is the second edition of the complex, thoroughly researched, and highly acclaimed debut novel in the Jack Devlin “One” Series re-edited by the author, John Clarkson. f you missed Clarkson’s AND JUSTICE FOR ONE the first time around, do not miss it this time.

One brutal murder ignites a war. Prepare to encounter a Hawaii you never knew existed – a place of poverty, racism, crime, violence, and militarism, all of which stoke the unrest of a deeply disenfranchised population. This is the world that Jack Devlin encounters in a remote area on the Big Island of Hawaii, when he investigates the savage murder of a homeless Vietnam vet. Why don’t the police seem to care? Why are the suspects acting like they’re above the law? Is it because the victim is a nobody? Maybe to some, but not to Jack Devlin. The victim, Billy Cranston, served with Jack Devlin in Vietnam. He not only saved Delvin’s life, he changed Devlin’s life forever. To Devlin, Billy Cranston is a true American hero, and his death is an abomination that will not go unavenged. In order to right this wrong, Devlin is going to have to face regrets from the past; grief, rage, and a deep sense of loss in the present; and go to war against an escalating series of powerful enemies. When Devlin sets out on this journey, nothing is certain except one thing – when it comes to righteous vengeance, Jack Devlin is going to follow one law - his.
