Mark Osterman, a Detroit Police Department police officer wrote two crime thrillers:
Happiness is a Green Light and Justifiable Homicide. According
to the book description from Justifiable Homicide, “In this sad aftermath, Jack began his secret war on crime. He joined
the Detroit Police Department and rose through the ranks to become a detective. However, Jack's after-hours activities included
a different method for reducing crime statistics. This one-man crusade served as judge, jury and executioner.
One reader of Justifiable Homicide
said, “No doubt, Jack Saunders was driven to it. The justice system failed again. The child molester who beheaded his
eight-year-old daughter walked free. In this sad aftermath, Jack began his secret war on crime. He joined the Detroit Police
Department and rose through the ranks to become a detective. However, Jack's after-hours activities included a different
method for reducing crime statistics. Serial killers, molesters, thugs and animal haters soon discovered the awful truth.
Suddenly, legal loopholes vanished and fancy paperwork maneuvers were useless. No appeals or plea bargains were allowed.
Instead, justice was swift, sudden and certain. This
one-man crusade served as judge, jury and executioner. Sentences were carefully crafted for each criminal; it resembled poetic
justice. Detroit's crime statistics plunged. When hundreds of its criminal class simply disappeared, no one asked why.
The unspoken message was clear: Choose a new career; crime doesn't pay like it once did. There was another unexpected
bonus. The psychological role of victim and predator became reversed. Now criminals worried about retribution, fearful for
their own safety.”
