How Do You Free a Caged Bird? - by Michael Emond (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

Deep within the criminal underworld exists a professional assassin who even the most hardened of kingpins and crime lords speak of only in hushed whispers. A phantom who single-handedly brought entire heavily-armed crime organizations to their knees, leaving behind knives in all of his victims like a bird that had molted its feathers. The paid assassin they all call... The Black Bird of Death.

Leon Graves was taught how to kill from an early age. Left to pick up the shattered pieces of his family after the death of their mother and abandonment by their father, Leon took up professional assassination to provide for his younger brother and sister. Despite being one of the most prolific hitmen employed by the murder-for-hire conglomerate known as Oblivion, the Black Bird of Death sees his profession as nothing more than a cage he willingly entered out of desperation. Leon now treads a delicate line, trying to balance his deadly double life so he may protect everything he holds dear.
