The Assassin

About the Book

The drug and gang violence in the city of Chicago has finally risen to the point that something must be done. The usual law enforcement agencies have had their hands tied by liberal governmental policies and a corrupt system that is unable to administer justice. Black Water is called in to resolve the problem in ways that could never be approved by elected officials or established agencies. The task is to remove the top five gangs in Chicago and destroy their hold on the drug trade and the violence it brings. Muddy Water, their covert domestic enforcement arm, is tasked with the mission. As always with their clandestine operations, failure is not an option. Neither is the discovery of the company’s involvement. After over a year of gathering information on the leadership of the gangs and planning how to eliminate them, the assassins are brought in.
