The Vulture: anatomy of a faceless hitman

Edgar Miller is no hero. Not even a simple killer. He is an entropy resolver - a predator capable of moving between Hong Kong's financial flows and the mud of war theaters with the same surgical precision. They call him the Vulture: a shadow inhabiting an aseptic identity shielded by impenetrable trusts between Hong Kong and Manhattan. A military past. For years he worked in the gray, cleaning up the friction between finance and organized crime on behalf of powerful Manhattan clients. A succession of lethal missions across Europe, the Orient, the United States. But now the wind has changed. His unsuspecting mandators, anguished by what Edgar knows and by his modus operandi, have decided to erase every trace of his existence. In that same instant, the C.O.R.E. - Langley's dark arm - switches on its satellites over him. From the coasts of Mexico to the corroded piers of Guinea-Bissau, Edgar Miller finds himself caught in a mortal vise. The Agency does not want merely his collaboration: it wants to test him in a suicidal mission against Matías Calderón, the only man who offered him refuge when the world wanted him underground. Langley's objective is clear: use the Vulture to infect the cartel system, then eliminate him definitively, closing his file forever. Defying the omniscience of radars and the ferocity of mercenaries, Edgar understands that his autonomy has been revoked. To survive, he must stop being a cog in a mechanism controlled by others. He must return to the heart of New York, confront the ghosts of his past and the dark shadows of his present. He must become the architect of his own future. A hypnotic, brutal techno-noir. A journey, an odyssey at the edges of a disturbing reality, where the only rule is invisibility, and the only mistake is remaining visible one instant too long.
