Vindictive Angel

      A homicide has eerily similar circumstances to another murder that happened months prior. The current victim is the third who died in an identical manner. Indications point to a serial killer, and the method of murder suggests that the assassin has medical knowledge.      When detectives learn that each of the murder victims had a criminal background, the tag, serial killer, morphs into the even less desirable, vigilante. The problem with a vigilante killing is that as many people cheer for the execution as those who are appalled by it.      When detectives find a link between the victims and the local hospital, they talk to the staff and it doesn't take long for some details of the investigation to become common knowledge. Married to Julie, a surgeon at the local hospital, Devon often relies on his wife as a sounding board, or in this case, as an expert on causes of death. When the records show that she was on call during the times in question, Devon counts on her memory to provide needed information.      Torn between his belief in the law and the demand for justice, Devon needs to decide which is of more value. When the legal system fails, should justice be neglected?  If a murderer is killed, is the executioner a criminal or a hero?
