In this second part of the trilogy which began with Niedermayer & Hart, the story once again unfolds within two time frames. The Guardians under Aref’s leadership reach Albi, where de Frontignac and his crew soon gather, intending to steal that which the Guardians have striven long and hard to protect.
While Jim Latimer and his friends mistakenly believe that the Niedermayer & Hart affair is concluded, three thousand miles away in Newark, New Jersey, a number of fresh corpses are discovered, all minus their heads and hearts.
A new foe emerges, highly organised, corrupt, powerful, able to spread its influence widely. The choice that remains for Latimer and co. is stark: take the fight to the enemy, or perish.
