Michael Raven returns from World War II with six names burned into his memory—the men who tortured and murdered his father in Munich. A former U.S. military intelligence operative, Raven is now a precision instrument of revenge, tracking each killer across Europe's fractured postwar landscape. As he methodically hunts his targets, Raven discovers a complex web of criminal networks that reach far beyond his personal vendetta. Each assassination brings him closer to understanding the brutal conspiracy that destroyed his family—and closer to confronting the moral line between justice and cold-blooded murder. But the men who wronged him are powerful, connected, and willing to fight just as dirty as he will.
