Publisher's Synopsis
The Jack of Spades dreams about his younger self jumping through a second floor window but does not remember anything thereafter, and the only artifact of this event is a scar on his shoulder. He looks into his memories for answers about that day to no avail, until he is hired as a protector for a powerful member of the yakuza, who now assumes leadership after the death of his father. Charles Adamant juggles his university studies, love life, bodyguard duties, contract obligations, and his new-found partnership with a deadly assassin, all the while looking for answers about his dream, which the young leader seems to have locked in his past. When his new boss's bosses decide to come stateside for a visit, his bodyguard duties evolved into a full-time office, and his involvement and edification of the yakuza demimonde becomes more and more consuming. Upon learning about the threat of multiple assassinations of the bosses by a rival organization, Charles enlists the help of his network of spies, clients, and fellow assassins to uphold his end of the contract.
