Synopsis

There's a twisted serial killer stalking the streets of New York City. He kills swiftly and silently, leaving his calling card - a red "J"--The bodies of his prey. His victims have one thing in common: they've all been jurors in the city's most infamous cases - cases in which the killer was found "not guilty." Overnight, the "Justice Killer" has the city in a stranglehold. And there's only one man who has a shot at finding him: Retired homicide detective Artemis Beam, a man who has made his reputation hunting down serial killers. As the body count climbs and the city's legal system fails, the Justice Killer thinks he's outsmarted the cops. But Beam isn't officially a cop anymore ... and he doesn't have to play by the rules.
