Ivy League Killers

Advance Praise for Ivy League Killers

Cherry takes readers on a chilling ride as he plants intrigue in all the right places . . .

If a rapist, murderer, or sex trafficker is hell-bent on a life of crime, is it injudicious to stop that person ? Young couple Emily and Tom don’t think so, and neither does the secret society that backs them in their pursuits. This anonymous network is composed of likeminded individuals who know that the police are insufficient in stopping these transgressors. Judges are paid off and criminals fall through the cracks.

Some readers might squirm at the morality implied in such acts. But Cherry doesn’t declare a conclusive stance on the subject. He will, however, nudge your conscience to disturbing degrees where you might find yourself rooting for the eliminators.

. . . [Ivy League] Killers answers many questions Harms [Done to Others] readers didn’t even know they had. Either story can be read first, however, thanks to Cherry’s literary dexterity.
