Vigilante City - 3rd Detective in a Coma book

SYNOPSIS

A man, who raped and strangled a 15-year-old girl and chopped off her pinkie, has a knife rammed through his eye into his brain.
A mugger who targeted the elderly is cleared of manslaughter after one of his victims dies from head injuries. He's found with his head bashed in.
A wife suspected of tampering with her husband's climbing gear after he plummeted to his death from a mountain, is pushed off a cliff.
A killer hit and run driver who was given a two year suspended sentence gets a taste of his own medicine.

They're calling them the Vigilante Killer. After dishing out their own brand of twisted justice, they leave their calling card - a newspaper cutting of the victim's crime shoved inside their mouth.
Targeting those many see as being guilty of heinous crimes, wins them many supporters.

To DI Duncan Waddell, this vigilante is nothing but a cold-blooded killer who must be stopped. Aided by his pal and colleague Steve Campbell who speaks to him despite being in a coma, the detective faces a battle of wits with the killer, especially when it later emerges one of the victims might not have been so guilty after all.
