What almost no one knows -- except for the elite unnamed investigations group assigned to hunt down the world's most dangerous killers, a group of men and women accounted for in no official ledger, headed by the brilliant but reluctant operative Steve Dark -- is that a new category of killer is in the process of being defined.

Only one man belongs to this group.

His targets: Anyone
