a thirst for vengeance
DUFF by Iain Blair

REVENGE-HUNT AGAINST THE ODDS
You can actually taste freedom, Duff decided as he walked out of the Scrubs. And what he meant to do with his freedom was to avenge Julie...
Julie, his pretty blonde wife - only twenty-four years old when she was wiped out in a road accident - now rotting in an untended grave in a London cemetery. Duff knew it was no accident that had left him with the agonizing, gut-wrenching sense of loss. For eight years in prison his rage festered into cold determination to kill Julie's murderers.
But when he had watched Julie's kid brother burned alive and had almost been finished by thugs himself, Duff realised that his plan to take a life for a life was not to be lightly achieved. For a start, there were now two lives to avenge.
And the opposition was tough - and totally ruthless...

ATTUALITA' NERA EXTRA 
-Anno VIII - N.88 - Luglio 1987

This is a very bizarre piece of work. Not a novel or collection of stories, but an ultra-violent and pornographic Italian comic book. This has everything. Graphic sex, strangulation, castration, shootings, rape, explosions and expensive yachts.
