A bank is robbed, cash stolen, two people brutally murdered. Cruel and vicious criminality in Georgia's capital city. The work of professional killers, their actions appear senseless: pointless murder and a small sum of money taken.

And what of the bank itself? Georgia's most important financial institution, guardian of the nation's prosperity and a major employer. Protected, powerful and too big to provoke?

Lieutenant Ramaz Donadze doesn't think so. For him, all murder is personal. With a growing reputation for getting the job done, his tragic past continues to haunt and drive him; his actions compulsive, reckless and ultimately damaging to himself and the people he holds most dear.

As the Georgian nation nervously watches war play out in a neighbouring country, the memories of its own war with the same aggressor still raw, Donadze must deliver his enduring promise regardless of the cost-justice for the dead and punishment of the guilty.
