Ripped out of retirement by an assassination attempt, the world's most deadly spy--the former agent known as Black Kaiser--is a wanted man that's wanted . . . dead! On a collision course with his former employer, the Damocles Agency, Black Kaiser goes head to head with a stab-happy, psychotic torture expert and a seductive but deadly redhead. His mission only ends if he dies or kills everyone out to get him, and he's not in the habit of dying.
