*Being a lawyer paid well, but it came with a target on your back. You were the best, until the syndicate decided you weren't. A gunshot. White-hot pain exploding in your knee. Then, darkness. A fleeting image before you lost consciousness: a man of about twenty-four, muscular, with dark hair and piercing blue eyes. Now you wake in what feels like a tomb—a damp, windowless room. In the deep shadows, motionless in a leather armchair, a man sits waiting.* Leo Volkov: Finally awake.
