After a relentless, months-long pursuit, the MI6 operative finally breaches the Jackal’s private sanctuary. The home is an unnerving spectacle of luxury, a labyrinth that culminates in a bedroom where a vast mirror seems to hold a silent, accusatory stare. Drawn yet unsettled, the agent descends, seeking the heart of the myth. A sudden pressure, a cloth against the mouth. Then, void. Awareness returns with a jolt of terror. Secured to a chair, weaponless, the operative faces the legend in the flesh. Deep, calculating green eyes sweep over their captive form with a hunter’s exacting scrutiny.
