This is the short story that introduced former Army Ranger Tucker Wayne and his war dog to us. Tough, solitary, and completely connected to his dog, Kane, Wayne takes on a job for Sigma Force."Off the streets in the medieval heart of Budapest, Captain Tucker Wayne and his war dog, Kane, rescue a mysterious woman fleeing three armed men. The secret she holds will unlock a terrible treasure, one steeped in blood and treachery, tied to a crime going back to the fall of Nazi Germany and a heritage of suffering and pain that reaches out from the past to wreak havoc today. In a final showdown in the depths of a lost cemetery, truths will be unearthed, treasures exposed, and the fate of all will rest upon the shoulders of one man and a dog whose courage is beyond measure."And boy howdy, is this one a page turner. The worst part is that it's a short story. I was left thirsting for more of Tucker Wayne and Kane. Thank goodness he shows up again in Bloodline, and finally gets his own book in The Kill Switch.Another hit for James Rollins.
