The Protectors/Vigilante Cops series is a three-book run from 2012 to 2013, following law enforcement officers who go beyond their badges to dispense their own form of justice. Bernard Lee DeLeo uses the vigilante cop premise to drive action stories where the protagonists operate outside legal constraints.
The Protectors and its follow-ups, including Halloween Rave, are shorter entries in DeLeo’s catalog but carry the same intensity as his longer series. The ethical territory of cops taking the law into their own hands gives these books a slightly different tension than his other action series.
