This is book 3 in a series. I listened to them in order. I really liked the main Character, a guy named Cross. I also liked getting to know the behind stories of some of the other characters.

This was gritty, and out Main character always wins! It was worth the time to listen to and I am sure it is also a good read.

Here on PBS there isn't any info on this book, just about the author.

Here is what I found

If the men known as Cross, Ace, and Rhino had other names, no one in Gangland had heard them. So no informant ever spoke them.

Buddha, by contrast, routinely used enough names to fill a small hard drive.

Tiger was infamous for a number of thing ;-her outrageous figure and thick mane of gold and black stripes only a small portion of that list. Tracker presumably had a name, but the only one he answered to was Tribal, and that appeared on no birth certificate.

Both were freelancers who had worked with the Cross crew many times, including a down south; job that cost Rhino the tip of one finger and added a teenage death--match veteran who came to be called Princess.

All this preceded an off--the--books government unit tasked with capturing a specimen; of some entity that could apparently kill without leaving a trace of its own presence, although the skull and spine torn from the bodies of the victims had become its terrifying signature.
