The greatest crime-fighter of the 40's returns in a third thrilling collection of original, action-packed tales of adventure, intrigue, and revenge. Life was bliss for millionaire adventurer Richard Henry Benson until that fateful day crime and greed took away his wife and young daughter... and turned him into something more than human. Driven by loss, compelled by grief, he becomes a chilled impersonal force of justice, more machine than man, dedicated to the destruction of evildoers everywhere. A figure of ice and steel, more pitiless than both, Benson has been forged into an avatar of vengeance, possessed of superhuman genius supernormal power. His frozen face and pale eyes, like a polar dawn, only hint at the terrible force the underworld heedlessly invoked upon itself the day they created... The Avenger!

About Lone Justice:
A cryptic late night phone call from a client sends Richard Benson to a small mountain community alone, much to the concern of his team. In hiding, the client claims to have been discovered by the murderer he helped send to prison. Out numbered and without back up, Benson and his charge make their stand against an army of killers on the hunt. But The Avenger is no man’s prey. The hunters are about to become the hunted.
“This was my first time writing The Avenger,” said Nash of the experience. “Richard Henry Benson is a fantastic characters. He was both fun and challenging to pin down, but we had one heck of an adventure together.”
The Avenger: Roaring Heart of the Crucible will be in store April 2013 from Moonstone Books.
