He's been in deep with bad men most of his life, and now, he's getting too good at being bad. So, Jack puts together a plan, and starts pulling strings. Some of these strings are attached to his associates, slick talkers like Jerry Midas and stoic strong-arms like Iron Tom. Some of these strings are attached to more dangerous anchors, like the brutal crime lord Tony Sargossi, or an intrepid detective from the local police. And some of these strings are attached to more simple devices, like bullets, and guns, and hammers, and blades. As Jack weaves these strings together, in intricate overlaps and subtle double-crosses, the strings start to get tangled. That one string, was that the one attached to Pip? The linchpin of the whole operation? Or was that string the one attached to the end of a gr***de...
One thing's for sure. At the end of these strings, there's blood. A whole lot of blood. Because this story--a story about men, guns, and getting what you want--isn't a very pretty story. It's a messy story. A tangled story. A violent story. An action-packed-guns-blazing-no-holds-barred story. It's not a pretty story at all. Instead, it's a pretty damn good one.
