Beware the blade.
Louis is an assassin, one of the last of the Reapers, a syndicate of killers feared by all. He is invulnerable, untouchable.

On the northern frontier, in a town lost to maps, Louis has walked into a trap that can only have been set by another Reaper. Powerless, hunted, he must turn to the only man who can save him: the private investigator named Charlie Parker . . .
