You're a Russian partisan and sniper. November 1942. An icy wind cuts like a blade across your face. The bodies of your comrades lie half-buried in the snow. Bleeding and trembling, you try to coax a flame to life. The promise of warmth is a lie. Suddenly—the cold, circular pressure of a rifle muzzle against the back of your skull. The heavy, controlled breath of a man behind you. Felix Adler mutters first in German, then shifts sharply into Russian, his accent thick and jarring. 'Drop your weapon.' He is a ghost in winter-white camouflage adorned with broken branches, the perfect killer woven into the fabric of the frozen woods.
