Chris Connor, a CID agent stages his death.  Khrenikov needs to believe that Connor is dead.  This was the only way his wife and remaining son would be safe.  Connor's oldest son had been killed earlier by the Russian Mafia and Khrenikov was responsible for this cold blooded murder.  The "Big K", as he was called, had been behind a frightening number of criminal operations from narcotics, to illegal immigration, to human trafficking.  The number of deaths Big K was responsible for numbered in the hundreds.This action and suspense filled short story was a very fast paced read, but too fast for me - it diminished my enjoyment of the book.  Joshua Graham is a favorite of mine and I do recommend most of his books, especially Darkroom.  He is certainly a gifted writer.
