Death Sentence is the 1975 sequel novel to Death Wish by Brian Garfield.
Six months after Death Wish, Paul Benjamin has moved from New York to Chicago following the death of his catatonic daughter, the result of the brutal attack that transformed him into a vigilante. The only thing that distracts him from his renewed vendetta against crime is a beautiful woman whom he starts dating. As he leads this double life, a copycat vigilante begins stalking the streets. What's worse, vigilantism soon becomes a rallying cry for the city as the police search for their man before innocent people are hurt. Now, Paul isn't after criminals or even justice, but a man who is as dangerous as he himself has become.
Death Wish II (1982) borrows some elements from the book, but ultimately it contrasts with the book's storyline, characters and setting. In 2007, a film based on the novel (though a completely different storyline) was made, starring Kevin Bacon and directed by James Wan.
