Out of the frying pan, into the fire

After his adventures in Biker and Dead Biker, the first two books of the trilogy, Ned Aiken was set up for a quiet life. After falling into the biker world almost by accident, rising throughout the ranks of a major motorcycle gang and eventually betraying its members to the FBI in return for indemnity and witness protection, Ned chafes at his boring mailroom job and the cheap apartment where the Feds make him life. Babysat by a slovenly field agent, insulted and bullied by the bosses he hates, the innocent-looking twenty-something—used to commanding the respect of thugs and living the free-wheeling lifestyle of a drug dealer—is not satisfied with the corporate culture at the bottom of the ladder.

Cornered into a delivery job by some sketchy co-workers, Ned soon finds himself neck-deep with the Russian mafia. Sophisticated, violent and possessing a code of honor that doesn't always translate to their North American associates, these are a class of criminal for whom borders and restraint are merely minor problems to be overcome.
