Vigilante by Claude Bouchard

The assassin calmly crouched down over the body and carefully wiped the blade on the dead man’s jacket. He then pressed a button on the knife’s handle, causing the blade to disappear and slipped the weapon into a pocket. Returning to a standing position, the vigilante turned his attention to Eileen.

“Miss, I believe that you should be on your way. I am truly sorry for any inconvenience these gentlemen may have caused you and I promise they won’t ever do it again.”

Summer of 96 in Montreal and a popular killer known as the Vigilante is on a spree, his victims, those who engage in criminal activities. Following 16 murders in 6 months, Lieutenant Dave McCall, head of Montreal’s Special Homicide Task Force is without clue or lead until an electronic message is received from the assassin himself. Failure in tracing the origin of the email leads McCall to request the assistance of CSS Inc., a security firm specializing in computer and communication networks and headed by EVP and COO, Chris Barry. As murders and emails continue, the two men join forces to bring the popular killer to justice. But whose justice will prevail? Theirs, or the popular Vigilante’s?

Chasing Lincoln’s Killer

Did you live a past life during the Civil War?

James L. Swanson presents an account of the conspiratorial events leading up to the 1865 assassination of American President Abraham Lincoln. The tale is told through the eyes of the principle conspiracy member and assassin John Wilkes Booth. An assassination of Lincoln and other members of the Federal government would’ve aided the Confederate cause. At least that’s what the assassin and his fellow conspirators believed. One assassin pulled the trigger but other conspirators faced trial for their part in the Lincoln assassination conspiracy.

In related conspiracy literature, it’s interesting to suppose what our world would be like today if the assassination of Lincoln had affected the confederate cause, as the assassination conspirators believed. In his online short story, Meet Your Messenger, Author Russell Twyce explores a fiction world where the Rebel South won the American Civil war.  Russell’s novel Shiva’s Messenger also features a presidential assassination conspiracy in supposing that the grassy knoll assassin has raised an assassin son.
