It's a thrilling adventure that will have you holding your breath as Keller tries to outrun the enemy and make it to safety.

Lethal British agent Dredger is back in action in the third story, "Dredger." He's on the streets of 1980s London, doling out justice of a kind to those who cross him. It's a gritty and dark tale that will have you wondering who you can trust and who you can't.
