Knight Errant - An Equalizer Novel

"Some figures emerged on the edge of the graveyard as if they had been summoned from the Gates of Hell. They circled McCall in a tight group. They were wielding iron bars, lengths of chain, switchblades and one of them was carrying an M48 Cobra crossbow with steel-tipped arrows and self-locking bolts. They were all young, not more than twenty-five, with the unnerving look of predators. They attacked suddenly and without warning. McCall disarmed one of them who had been carrying a tire iron. The youth collapsed to the ground. The second assailant swung a chain at McCall's head. He sidestepped the vicious blow and sent the assailant to his knees. He grabbed a switchblade from the first assailants hand. Using a Butterfly kick McCall threw the marauder back into a brick wall. He slid down it. The youth staggered away. The remaining hoodlum was carrying the ornate crossbow. McCall disarmed him and brought him to his knees. The crossbow clattered to the ground. McCall turned around in a circle to face more of the savage attackers."
