Death is their business, and business is good.
Jonah is a child soldier, born amidst the chaotic conflicts that rage
across West Asia, his family lost to a war fueled by weapons supplied by
the so-called Merchants of Death--international arms dealers. Despite
Jonah's hatred of weapons and violence, he employs both extremely well
in the service of high-flying arms dealer Koko Hekmatyar and her band of
mercenaries. Their journey through the dark underbelly of the world's
arms markets may lead only to damnation, but will Jonah one day make his
way back to the light? Only one thing is certain: it's going to be a
long, hard road out of hell...
CIA European Section Chief George Black has an agent inside Koko's
squad--the ex-Italian Bersaglieri officer code-named R. Though still
mystified by Koko, R has come to admire her and her team. When he learns
that another CIA paramilitary operations officer named Hex is plotting a
rogue operation against Koko, R's cover and Koko's and Jonah's lives are
on the line. Spies and arms dealers like to keep things quiet, but their
shadowy world is about to explode!
