The man known only as Cross and his multi-skilled team of urban mercenaries are back, this time invading one of Chicago's least desirable neighborhoods in a land-grab that has the entire underworld puzzled. A VINTAGE CRIME/BLACK LIZARD ORIGINAL.

Chicago--the reigning #1 city in homicides--has no shortage of deadly gangs. And all those gangs know well that the Cross crew occupies a cinderblock bunker called Red 71 . . . the last place you want to go, unless you're willing to risk it being the last place you go. The crew is notorious for its deadly efficiency and its disinterest in anything but money. So why has it turned from seller to buyer, grabbing up houses on a decaying block where only a few holdouts remain? Both the cops and the underworld are watching closely . . . but are they the only ones?

  • "Vachss has always been able to pit his protagonists against the darkness of the human heart to great effect." --Booklist
  • "[A] heady mix of spy thriller, crime novel, and horror.... A better-than-usual take on the thriller genre.... The belief in and search for justice and loyalty that permeate the story echo in the hearts of its readers so that they see the world in a new light." --The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction
