Publisher's Synopsis
New York City. For generations it has been a prime spot to live with the endless opportunities and promise. The true innocence had faded and the people we once praised were now the ones we hid from in fear. Frank Castle finally met his match with the much praised architect and businessman Jericho Hansen. A man with more vision and power than he needed. Quickly climbing the ladder of success Hansen managed to rise above the common criminal. Doris Finn returned from California with the silent killer Robert Trent. Meeting the approval of Jericho Hansen would be as uncertain as Castle's chance to survive his group of professional killers. With the cold variety of henchmen and Jericho Hansen pulling the strings, Castle's only advantage was, knowing from years of experience how New York City really was. The trail of body bags had grown in numbers and stretched to the state of Mississippi. The sudden trouble between a town's crooked chief of police and his three evil sons, frowned upon the new addition of company in its town. The prime target was an old Russian mob boss that not only carried years of gruesome killing on his shoulders, but also held ties in friendship with Castle. The chief and his sons were well armed and guarded by the town's people and home court advantage. With each bullet shot Castle was quickly approaching the answers he needed. Putting his enemies to rest was a priority but the protection of the young Katia Strakhov was at the top of his list. The surprising conclusion to the confrontation would soon lead back to New York City where Castle would run into yet another problem. With the few friends he had left they would all stand together and face what was yet to come.
