Twisted Justice — Jeffrey Ashford

When Detective-Sergeant Gerry Stone's teenaged son stumbles home after midnight in a drunken stupor, one headlight broken on the car, Stone is irritated but unsurprised at the folly of youth. But irritation turns to distress when the policeman learns that a car - the same make and color as his own - was involved in a hit-and-run accident the same night. Worse yet, all young Andrew Stone claims to remember is a fantastic tale about a group of men in Mickey Mouse masks who supposedly ran him off the road and forced him to drink himself unconscious. Who but a father could believe such a story?
Stone is faced with the agonizing decision between loyalty to his son and professional duty. Complicating the choice still further is an apparent link between an escaped English convict and a theft of military weapons from a base in the United States.
Stone believes he may be unraveling a web that conceals an international gun-running ring, but fears that in doing so, he may also be unraveling the ties that bind his family. He realizes that not only is he forced to choose between his career and his only son, but that the wrong move could rob him of both.
