John Dusk's life continues to unravel as he finds himself in combat against his former teammates. Has he finally snapped? And even if he survives, is there any hope of salvaging some kind of life...or will he become a fugitive criminal like those he once hunted?
The searing saga of Absolution rockets to its conclusion...don't miss the book Ed Brubaker calls 'my favorite thing from Christos Gage so far'! John always knew there would come a time when he had to choose between his two lives. That time is now.
And either way, there's no going back. He wants to be forgiven...but he doesn't want to stop.

Meet Lin Sae Woo.
She’s a covert operative for the United States Department of Agriculture, and one its most lethal assassins. She has the equivalent of black belts in four different disciplines of martial arts hand-to-hand combat and is equally deadly with swords, throwing knifes, sniper rifles and handguns.
She’ll make a corpse out of anybody who tries to stand between her and completion of her current assignment—and that includes that nosy F.D.A. agent with the creepy cibopath power, Tony Chu!
