Blackman knows that if the intimate details of the crime become public, his political ambitions will be in ruins. There can be no arrests, no trial. The Senator is one of the world's richest men. Wealthy enough to make Washington dance to his tune and demand the CIA solve his problem. Their solution? Find a deniable operative. A man that knows the city and its criminal underworld. A man that will seek out the killers and dispose of them, without a second thought. A damaged ex SAS hero that will do anything if the price is right. A man called Rick Fuller.
