1946. Tangier, Morocco

After Mason busted up a powerful crime ring in occupied Germany, a shadowy organization has put a contract out on his life. He thought he'd eluded the assassins, but in a plaza in Marseille, France, the assassins now have him in their sights.

Now, Mason must put his life on the line to find the girls and discover who's behind the heinous crimes before it's too late. If he lives that long...
