Police and medical teams in Chicago were bewildered by a rash of serious vehicular explosions, which had claimed more than 50 victims over nearly two years. The explosions, according to survivors, almost always originated from cheap, foreign-made subcompact cars which mysteriously detonated, often during rush hour. The mystery was finally solved when an organized crime informant told police about Madison. Assassin An assassin specializes in untraceably killing a single target. Whereas a hit man's work is dirty, loud and unmistakable, the assassin seeks to make his killing unseen and unheard.
Assassins are highly skilled fighters, talented in both personal and vehicular combat.
Methods of assassination vary. Land mines, car bombs and sniper tactics are the most common, but anything from poison to a falling piano is a possibility. Only the very rich and very powerful are able to hire them. The target of an assassination is typically a public official, organized crime boss or some other equally powerful person. Using a special rifle customized for his own use, a skilled marksman can achieve unbelievable accuracy delivering a single bullet at ranges of up to 1,000 yards.
