Produktbeschreibung

In the dark alleys and smoke-filled backrooms of 1930s New York, a new kind of evil is born. Leo "The Cuff" Birnbaum, a brilliant strategist who sees crime as a balance sheet, and Antony "The Fury" Acardi, a waterfront warlord who speaks only the language of brute force, have been tasked by the newly formed national crime syndicate with an unprecedented mission: to organize murder. Their creation is The Combination, a secret company of killers for hire, offering professional, deniable enforcement to the most powerful men in the country.

Their most valuable asset is Ari "The Finch" Reznik, a young man from the violent streets of Burnside with a genius for death. Devoid of emotion and driven by a cold, internal logic, Reznik becomes the syndicate's master craftsman, executing high-stakes contracts with the precision of a surgeon. From silencing informants with an ice pick to orchestrating spectacular public hits that look like crimes of passion, Reznik and his fellow butchers operate with terrifying efficiency, their work recorded only in the blood-red ink of a secret ledger. For a decade, they are ghosts, the invisible hand guiding the fate of the American underworld.

But no empire built on blood can last forever. Burton Turkus, a relentless and clever Assistant District Attorney, refuses to believe the string of perfect, unsolved murders are random acts of violence. He sees a pattern, a corporation of death, and begins a lonely, obsessive crusade to expose it.

As Turkus's investigation tightens the noose, the paranoia and pressure within The Combination reach a breaking point. The strict code of loyalty begins to crack, forcing the organization to turn its lethal gaze inward. Friends become targets, and hunters become the hunted in a desperate, final battle for survival where the price of silence is everything. Can one man's obsession with justice bring down the most efficient killing machine ever created, or will he become the final entry in the butcher's ledger?
