And when Danny Carlton, the owner's young son, is murdered, Jack has to ask: is this just about money, or is there a far more sinister secret buried in Victor's warehouse? Who else will be killed in Victor's attempt to hide the truth? As Jack closes in, he'll need every ounce of his analytical strength and MMA fighting skills to survive.
