      About This Book

      For just a handful of money, they savagely beat Paul''s wife and daughter, leaving his wife dead and his daughter comatose. Grief-stricken and forced to reevaluate his views, Benjamin becomes disillusioned with society and plots his revenge on the perpetrators, whom the police are unable to bring to justice. Armed with a revolver and total disregard for his own safety, he sets out to even the score. Adapted into a feature film starring Charles Bronson that spawned four sequels over two decades, Death Wish is a gritty, powerful thriller about just how far a man can be pushed before he loses control.
