DEATH SPIRAL A ten-year-old mass execution in Bosnia has suddenly resurfaced to haunt the perpetrators. Members of an association of businessmen, which included Americans, who were willing to get their hands bloody for profit are mysteriously dying. When a translator for the Stony Man team is innocently caught in the conspiracy, she turns to Mack Bolan for help. One of the men has used evidence from the killings to blackmail his fellow murderers. Bolan's mission is to identify the men in high places who killed for money and power in the aftermath of a brutal war. The Executioner's hunt to fi nd the proof leads to a showdown in the mountains of Colorado, where blinding snow and bloodlust mix with lethal force.

Military-grade guns are finding their way onto American streets, turning neighborhoods into war zones. And, after three officers and two civilians are killed in the crossfire of a Miami gang standoff, it's time for someone to strike back. Yet with little concrete proof to use against those supplying the illegal weapons, the police are helpless. Fortunately for them Mack Bolan doesn't need evidence. It's old-fashioned justice he's after. Going solo on his mission, Bolan soon discovers Miami is just the beginning. An arms dealer has set up operations in New York, Chicago and New Mexico. But this supplier isn't the only one wanting a slice of the American gun pie. Another more ruthless group is ready to step in and will take out anyone who gets in their way—unless the Executioner can take them down first.
