Prompted by a mysterious summons from his past, a man known only as 'The Super' begins an investigation into maternal neglect by a privileged Toronto family. As the case deepens, revealing a web of systemic crime and depravity, The Super undertakes a series of adjustments: his word for the personal interventions that he conducts on behalf of the powerless. These increasingly chaotic retributions soon pull him into a spiral of brutal violence. Working within six-to-eight week windows of hyper-time periods of near-sleepless activity and hyper-awareness that precede his own mental collapse. The Super draws closer to the heart of the case he was called upon to resolve. But at what cost to his own sanity? Reminiscent of Stieg Larsson and Dennis Lehane, The Adjustment League is a gripping, unforgettable novel about the effects that cruelty, wealth, and power have on the weakest members of society.
