I just finished GLASS TIGER (2006), also a stand-alone with
strong revenge themes. In this one, there are not one but two
combat-trained killers involved. Here Gores explores their
contrasting approach to dealing with violence, committed both
by and against them, spread over their lives. The two men
have practically identical pasts and skills, but are very
different in how they handle those who murder their family
and friends. It's an interesting exploration, and a good
book, structured as a thriller. Cheers,
