Recruited: A King & Slater Origin Thriller (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798355729639)

Chicago, 2003. For twenty-year-old Will Slater, each day is a matter of survival on the crime-ridden streets of Englewood. Possessed by a rigid moral code, he allies with the city's ruthless gangs only when absolutely necessary, and doesn't hesitate to turn on crews he finds reprehensible. Orphaned at fourteen by a harrowing chain of events, he's walked this tightrope for years without a safety net.

Then it all changes.

A gang approaches with a job that triggers memories he'd rather forget. But once he accepts, he's plunged into a web of deceit. No one is who they seem, and violent events set him on the path to becoming the Slater we all know: one of the most lethal covert operatives the world's ever seen.
