Just when ex-cop Blades Overstreet finally has his life back on track, the son of his good friend and mentor is murdered before his eyes.

He begins a search that leads him on a dangerous journey into the heart of the Russian mob and, ultimately, into a confrontation with a past he had hoped was buried long ago. Views: 173
