How far does justice stretch when the system is broken?
The city of Richmond simmers with unrest, still reeling from the violent vigilante acts of John Abrams, who sought retribution for his daughter Maggie's murder (The List of 11). While John's actions exposed deep-seated police corruption, the true architects of her demise, including the notoriously corrupt Detective Fox, remained free and influential.
Now, a new, shadowy figure emerges: Hell Guard. This elusive sniper, driven by his own personal tragedy and a similar thirst for retribution, meticulously targets those he deems responsible for the city's decay, including former Detective Fox. His precision strikes, including an attempted assassination on Fox, ignite the "Justice Always" movement, a public outcry demanding accountability that pushes Richmond to the brink.
Detective Abbott returns to lead a specialized anti-corruption unit. Having been personally impacted by the department's rot and even shot for her pursuit of truth, Abbott is relentless in her mission to expose the network of corrupt officers, including Fox, who now wields power from the shadows. But with a phantom sniper operating outside the law and a police force fractured by internal betrayal, Abbott finds herself caught between a city screaming for vigilante justice and her sworn duty to uphold the law.
The List of the People dives into the turbulent aftermath of vengeance, where one determined detective must untangle a deadly web of lies and violence before Richmond consumes itself. Dive into this electrifying addition to the Connected Crime Series and discover if true justice can ever be achieved.
