PROLOGUE
I had been waiting a long time.
Three years to be exact.
Three years of biding my time and watching those ticking hands of the clock.
But that’s the thing about time, it runs out and at the end of it, the only thing left to greet you is darkness.
Their time is up, and they don’t even know it. I think that’s the most satisfying part about all of this.
I watch the lights of London grow closer as we begin our descent. Isobel, my sister, sleeps in the chair opposite me but despite the nine-hour flight back from the US, I haven’t been able to rest. Not with the weight of the flash drive in my pocket or the images burning holes through my bag stashed in the overhead lockers.
I’ve been a patient man and it has finally paid off.
You don’t cross the Heart family and expect to come out of it alive.
There would be nothing to stop me now, no one to deter me from this path.
Those who hurt my sister are about to pay and the only currency I’ll accept is blood.
