It does not rule through violence but through observation leverage and precision. And it is always in need of men who can move unnoticed.
Recruited at his most vulnerable moment Craig is drawn into a hidden economy of influence where instructions arrive in black envelopes loyalty is measured in silence and relief always comes at a price.
