When beautiful, vulnerable Janet Springer asks Jack Sullivan to smash Toscani, the Mafia godfather who destroyed first her father and then her brother, Sullivan tells her to forget his usual fee.

This is the kind of job The Specialist dreams of - an ideal outlet for his rage against evil.

But only after Sullivan launches his one-man assault on Toscani, does he realise that he is battling an enemy more dangerous than he has ever faced before - himself.

Following a head trauma, something inside Sullivan has snapped, turning him from a clean-edged instrument of righteous vengeance into a killing machine spiralling out of control ...

As Sullivan's excess of pent-up violence threatens to consume him, he begins to terrify those around him and even his long-time friends and supporters begin to question his brutal methods.

Can Sullivan defeat his most dangerous enemy in time to take down Toscani and the Mafia? Can he avoid the loss of any more innocent lives?

Can he complete his vendetta?
