************* The down side of vigilante justice comes out
often in hardboiled, too. How many times does the vigilante
hero lose the girl because of his propensity for violence?
Connelly's Bosch loses the FBI woman in Echo Park. In a
particularly vivid scene in Trevanian's The Main, the young
policeman rejects the vigilante ways of his mentor, calling
it fascism. In both these books, though, the downside doesn't
quite measure up to the positive results.
