Back Cover Summary After regaining my senses, I was tied to an Indian torture post. Blood was running down into my eyes. I could see this Indian chief coming out of his teepee, holding a lance above his head. “You killed my son,” he said, and was ready to strike me down. Out of the brush, Wolf burst with a fierce growl, hitting the chief in the chest, knocking him on his back. Wolf stood on his chest, his eyes smoked with hatred, saliva and foam dripping off the tip of his tongue onto the chief’s neck. Teeth bared and ready to kill on command, waiting to rip out his throat.
Jim Servito shatters the hopes and aspirations of star-crossed lovers, Mike King and Karen Taylor, while simultaneously engineering a grand theft ranking as one of the largest and most audacious in Canadian and U.S. history. Cynical and remorselessly ruthless, he possesses a brilliant criminal mind, has enormous contempt for the law, police, governments, and the system in which they function. He assumes rules are for fools, and takes sadistic pleasure in breaking them. Using The Peace Bridge as his fulcrum, he steals $325,000,000 from the U.S. and Canadian governments, steals enormous quantities of gasoline by illegally installing valves in Golden National’s Buffalo refinery, then murders everyone who can implicate him.
