11. A BLOOD DEBT MUST BE PAID WITH BLOOD
This is the message pinned to Will Kane’s door with a Bowie knife. It doesn’t
take long before the first of the Hard Flint Brothers arrives to make good on
the threat.
Kane barely escapes with his life, but things go downhill from there, with five
more Brothers swearing to take his life in vengeance for his killing of one of
their own.
But lurking behind it all, Kane is beginning to feel the presence of something
bigger, an organization more secret than the CIA or FBI. One that has ties
stretching back to World War II and involves the highest levels of power and

12. Death lurks below.
Will Kane finds a body underneath Hell Gate Bridge. Where this gruesome discovery
leads him is a world even he, a New York native, never dreamed existed. No one
knows the full extent of the labyrinth that lies below New York City. It's a world unto
itself. There are those who prowl the darkness for their own evil reasons.
He learns this isn't an isolated incident and that murders are being committed in
horrendous ways; and that seem so to be just the tip of the iceberg than can be seen.
The police, not able to control the streets above, care little about what’s below and the
missing. It's up to Kane to find out who is behind this. And as he literally digs deeper,
he realizes it reaches to the highest levels of New York City.

13. Will Kane has faced down the NVA, the IRA, the CIA and the Mafia. But now he
faces the most intense challenge of his life. Someone is trafficking children in New
York City. Someone who has connections to very powerful people who want this
kept very secret. Kane’s investigation is getting too close.
But he can’t back off; not when children are involved. It’s war.
And there will be no quarter taken or given.

background, Will Kane rings with authenticity.”
