Frank Meyer had left 'the life' behind safely. He had put an end to his mercenary days, turned over a new leaf, and settled down with his wife and children. It had been a hard decision, but encouraged by his boss and friend Joe Pike, he had walked away. Ten years later, a group of armed men broke into his Los Angeles home and brutally gunned him and his family down. It was a vicious, cold, professional job. The crew left no trace behind except the bodies. But they had made one catastrophic, and almost certainly terminal, mistake: Joe Pike. Pike was now determined to hunt down and eliminate everyone involved in the attack, one by one. It didn't matter that, as he began to investigate, he discovered that these criminals were bigger and better organized than he had ever imagined.
The first rule: Don't make Joe Pike mad.
