A brutally-wronged girl now a woman grown - cold, clever, calculating - mistakenly presumed dead. A macabre magician with a secret past, stalked by an exotic and enigmatic assassin. A woman with breathtaking beauty and an insidious scheme that is as vicious as she herself is vindictive. An ex-pro-lineman turned savage gangster... a threat to everyone with his all-consuming greed. A young, ambitious cop drawn to a wealthy but willful woman... a woman as wily as she is wild. His father, legendary Chicago cop, Larry Cole, must stop them all, particularly the deviously deadly femme fatale. Beautiful as she is bloody, relentlessly obsessed, bent on vile, violent... revenge.
