As a hard-boiled, some say burnt-out, ex-homicide officer, Brayden has seen more of London's wicked underbelly than any man should and beneath his composed exterior the scars cut deep. At his apartment he encounters a trio of uninvited house guests. Outnumbered and outgunned, Brayden is starting to look like the last member of an endangered species. But Stefan and his two thugs are about to find out that a man like Brayden doesn't die easy...
