About this listen

Lita Mendez was a thorn in the LAPD’s side. An aggressive police critic and gang activist, she’d filed countless complaints against the department. So when she’s found dead in her home, Shane and Hitch fear the worst: that there’s a killer in their ranks.Outside the crime scene, Nixon Nash, the charismatic host of a hit reality show called Vigilante TV, has set up shop with his television crew. Nash’s show is dedicated to beating the cops at their own game, solving murders before they can. Now he has the murder of Lita Mendez in his sights and he presents the detectives with a choice: either join his team or prepare for a public takedown.But Scully suspects that Nash isn’t the folk hero he seems. If a detective got in his way, just how far would the TV host go in the name of self-promotion? On the heels of The Prostitutes’ Ball, called “the best Scully yet” (Kirkus Reviews) and “perfectly fresh” (Booklist), this new novel from the celebrated author has Detective Scully risking everything to save himself, his family, and the job he loves.

Partnership of Scully and Hitch

This is my last Stephen J Cannell book. i’m really sorry there won’t be any more. I have read all 11. I still think they should be made into a series. They would be just as good as Reacher or Bosch. And I’m still trying to figure out who would be good as Scully.🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟👍👩🏻‍🦰

Another winner

A good read, and the usual excellent job by Scott Brick. So sad to lose Mr. Cannell. Both he and Shane will be missed.

Keeps You Guessing

What did you love best about Vigilante?

I liked the pace of the story.

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

Yes, because you did not know what was going to happen next.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I did not laugh or cry, but it did touch a nerve considering the injustices some people will do to make themselves look better.

Wonderful dialogue! Wonderful characters! A win!

I am sorry that this last book in the series is the first I have read. It has all the elements of a good mystery - twists and turns, interesting characters, and it is well paced. But the standout feature is Mr. Cannell's iconic used of words and language to describe characters and situations. The only other mystery author I have read who could make me laugh out loud with delight at their turn of a phrase was Dashiell Hammett ("A bullet kissed the door jam by my cheek."). The narration is perfect, and this book is worth the listen. Loved it.

Still a Big Fan

I continue to enjoy Cannell's series work. Looking forward to the next. I'm sure somebody has thought of this but... these would make a good basis for a TV show.
