Dark Men

Columbus believes he has finally left the criminal life behind. He and Risina, a enigmatic dealer in rare books, have settled in a small coastal town in Italy, where nobody knows who they are. Columbus, though, cannot quite shake his old habits. When a stranger begins trailing him, his suspicions prove right, and he soon finds himself back in Chicago. His former fence has vanished, and the people holding him may have already killed him. The ransom demand names Columbus specifically. To have any chance at a fresh start, the man known as the Silver Bear must cut the final thread tying him to his past. Meanwhile, Risina shows an unsettling talent for violence of her own, and the way back may already be closed.
