A new Edition of the Highly Acclaimed Debut Novel in the Jack Devlin One Series.

And Justice for One A novel of revenge (Jack Devlin "One" Series Book 1) by John Clarkson

Dear Readers,

And Justice for One: A novel of revenge novel was first published in 1992. I don't remember exactly when I began writing it. I do remember the two events that inspired the story. The first event occurred in 1976 when I visited an after-hours club in downtown Manhattan. The second event came in 1979. Read more of this blog post »

John Clarkson rated a book it was amazing Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind by Yuval Noah Harari	Error rating book. Refresh and try again. Rate this book Clear rating 1 of 5 stars 2 of 5 stars 3 of 5 stars 4 of 5 stars 5 of 5 stars
A sweeping account of the history of our species. This is one of those books I read in spurts. But the fact that I felt like I learned something on every page kept me devouring it in big chunks. Highly recommended.

John Clarkson answered Tony Gillespie's question: Hi John. I loved "Among Thieves" & eager to read the next in the series. Any news of a UK release date? Tony, I just noticed that my answer to you two years ago never went through. Sorry about that. Hope you got Bronx Requiem and enjoyed it. All the best, John
