Cross

This savage murderer is leaving a trail of eviscerated bodies all over the world. Despite knowing the Cross team as ultimate mercenaries, a shadowy team of government operatives hires them to track and capture - but not kill - this elusive hunter, When a pattern is finally deduced in the seemingly random strikes, the Cross crew devises an elaborate plan that will put their leader directly into the creature's path.

The man known only as Cross and his multi-skilled team of urban mercenaries are back. Chicago has no shortage of deadly gangs. The Cross Crew occupies a cinderblock bunker called Red 71. The Crew is notorious for its deadly efficiency and its disinterest in anything but money. So why has it turned from seller to buyer, grabbing up houses on a block where only a few holdouts against urban decay remain? Both the cops and the underworld are watching closely, but are they the only ones?

Even the deadliest gangs in Chicagoland fear the Cross Crew, and carefully avoid their cinderblock bunker headquarters: Red 71 is well known as the last place you'd want to go... unless you're willing to risk it being the last place you ever go. Why, then, would anyone be foolhardy enough to threaten them – and even more dangerously, their loved ones? As Cross catches the scent of a far-reaching conspiracy, he realizes that it all connects to an unexplained event in his past: a massacre from which he emerged inexplicably unscathed, save for the blue mark on his face that pulses when danger is near. Cross might find himself again facing a terrible menace that is not altogether human.
