But even Kralick wasnt tough or shrewd enough to match the treachery of a friend. From the night his sister Judy was betrayed by the man she loved, Kralick was a man who lived only to destroy. Sworn to finding the man who had raped his sister, he was cold and ruthless the way a man got when he knew he either had to kill or be killed.
