A Scavenger Hunt Thriller
Publication Date: March 17, 2026
IN CHICAGO, JUSTICE HAS A PRICE—AND THE MOB ALWAYS COLLECTS.
After surviving a terrorist nightmare, Justice Department lawyer Blake Hudson takes on a new enemy: the Chicago mafia.
Assigned to the Organized Crime Strike Force, he enters a world that’s nothing like the movies. The Chicago Outfit may still live in Al Capone’s shadow, but its power has evolved—slicker, smarter, and more dangerous than ever.
At its center is Enzo Renzi—a polished consigliere with an Ivy League mind and a conscience buried beneath layers of loyalty. To Blake, he’s the key to bringing the Outfit down. To others, he’s a marked man. Ruthless killers close in, and neither Enzo nor Blake knows who’s behind the crosshairs.
When a secret meeting between rival gangs threatens to ignite a citywide war, Blake races to stop it—only to uncover something far darker than mob violence: a hidden network whose reach extends deep into America’s institutions.
In this explosive sequel to Scavenger Hunt, loyalties blur, alliances shift, and the real power may not belong to the men who hold the guns—but to those pulling the strings.
Organized crime in Chicago finds its way into the crosshairs of Justice Department lawyer Blake Hudson.
Author Chad Boudreaux delivers the sequel to Scavenger Hunt in Mob Justice It continues to deliver the high-octane adventure designed to keep readers engaged.
The inner workings of the Chicago mafia are a far cry from the days of the fictional Tony Soprano or the antics in Tulsa King. At the center is Enzo Renzi, who catapulted up the ranks as the lawyer for the city’s most notorious crime family.
When Blake stumbles upon information about the Collection Agency, a secretive, elite school with ties to the mafia, it opens the door to an investigation extending much deeper than expected.
What makes this series successful is the level of detail, not only in the crime element but also in the ease with which the legal piece is understood. The brilliantly executed mole adds a fresh twist as Blake navigates disinformation and dodges bullets.
Mob Justice serves up a helping of fresh characters in a contemporary organized crime thriller.
