The Final Acquittal

In the Federated States of Alden, disgraced ex-detective Alec Donovan is barred from seeking justice when a constitutional clause protects the powerful judge who orchestrated his partner's death. Cast out of the system, he becomes a lone vigilante known as "The Lone Gavel," executing the untouchable. As a relentless detective closes in, Donovan's crusade forces him to confront a devastating truth: all his acts of retribution were a desperate attempt to escape his own guilt, and the only redemption left is the one verdict he cannot render—forgiving himself.
