Law and Vengeance

Idealistic. Combative. Tenacious.

The Bergman-Deketomis Law Firm is back on the case!

Mike Papantonio introduced Nick “Deke” Deketomis and his associates in Law and Disorder, the powerful first installment of his legal saga. His new book, Law and Vengeance, has them pitted against an even deadlier foe. In Law and Vengeance, we find that several characters from the previous novel continue to fight the good fight:

Nick “Deke” Deketomis is a world-class trial lawyer with the firm that bears his name. For decades, he battled some of the world’s most reckless and corrupt corporations; but now he is confronted with a new level of corporate criminality.

Gina Romano is a beautiful and determined woman who built her career as a criminal trial lawyer
by believing she could play by the rules and still achieve justice. She is about to learn that the law of vengeance works with a different set of rules.

Angus Moore is a gentle giant of a man, but a relentless pit bull of an attorney. He has no idea of the mortal danger his life is in after he takes the lead on the case against the world’s largest arms dealer, Arbalest Corporation.
In Law and Vengeance, the Bergman-Deketomis firm sets its sights on an unscrupulous weapons manufacturer and a corrupt Chicago police union.

The law firm is accustomed to going to war with opponents who value big profits more than a human life, but this is uncharted territory even for them.

Once again, Mike Papantonio interweaves the intricacies of his trade in trial law with highly developed character studies to deliver action that jumps off of the page. Law and Vengeance will leave you catching your breath as the story accelerates to its explosive conclusion.
