Crime and Punishment #25

In the quiet town of Newville, Police Chief after police chief falls victim to mysterious violence—from Chief Douglas's unsolved killing to Chief Fensley's near-fatal ambush—and now the newly sworn Chief Jack Billings must navigate a brewing conspiracy that threatens to destroy the town's peaceful facade. As murders pile up and threats close in, the lawmen of Newville face an enemy determined to drive them out, one way or another. With the town's safety hanging in the balance, help finally arrives to investigate the terror plaguing this once-sleepy community.

A dangerous rivalry between a horse trainer and a gorilla keeper at the circus turns deadly when Felix the gorilla is killed in a staged animal fight—and Johnny Dillon takes the fall for it. When Dillon is cleared but haunted by nightmares of the gorilla's revenge, a real terror begins: someone in a gorilla costume stalks Dillon and those connected to the circus, seeking vengeance for Felix's death. Detective Williams must uncover the twisted truth behind the costume and the keeper's obsession before more blood is spilled.
