Summary

There’s a price on Shelton’s head – enough to buy a small country! Wayne Shelton has a sad duty to fulfill: give the heirs of his deceased team members their share of the pay for the disastrous Khalakjistan mission. But the solemnity of the task is quickly shattered: two hitmen attempt to shoot him in South America, then a bomb is placed under his car in the USA... Who exactly placed such an extravagant price on Shelton’s head? And who’s the mysterious biker trailing him?
