A society that kills killers! My vengeful heart loves this kind of thing! When a suspected murderer gets released, the 'Ketchers' grab them, pronounce them guilty, and hang them! Done and done!
Of course, the police are out to stop them, and a newspaper hires famous detective Sexton Blake to do the same! Can they catch the Ketchers? You gotta read it to find out!
I liked this story, and think it was just about the right length. Any longer, and I think I might have lost interest. I'm not sure if I liked the twist at the end, but overall, it was an enjoyable little read!
Good last sentence too! :
