Luke paid Aldo Finster in cash. In exchange for the sixty-two thousand euros, Luke was escorted to a parked car outside his hotel that evening around eight o’clock. The driver got out, opened the door for Luke and waited while Luke slid into the backseat.

“Good evening, Mr. Sentell,” the car’s backseat occupant said.

“Jurgen Hirsch, I presume?”

“As good a name as any other and one I use on occasion.”

“I understand from Herr Finster that you’re the ideal tour guide for me.”

In the shadowy darkness of the car’s interior, Luke’s eyesight adjusted, enabling him to see more clearly. Jurgen Hirsch, blond, muscular and probably no older than he, studied Luke, his gaze focused on Luke’s face.

“There is someplace in particular you wish to go, someone you wish to see?”

“I’m looking for a man who calls himself Malcolm York.”

Dead silence.

Luke waited, his gaze riveted to his companion’s.

And then Jurgen Hirsch’s lips tilted upward in a cold, calculating, unemotional smile. “I, too, have heard the rumors about a man by that name. But it is my understanding that Malcolm York is dead and has been for sixteen years.”

“Then there is nothing you can tell me about him that I don’t already know, but perhaps you can tell me more about these rumors.”

“You are very persistent, Mr. Sentell.”

“I’m fifty thousand dollars persistent, Herr Hirsch.”

Hirsch laughed. A look of amused curiosity glimmered in his icy blue eyes. “Have you ever heard of Anthony Linden?”

“Who hasn’t heard of Linden, the infamous former MI6 operative who went rogue. What does Linden have to do with Malcolm York, other than both men are dead?”

“Ah, but that is what makes their association so interesting,” Hirsch said in his lightly accented English. “Rumors are that Anthony Linden is alive and well and has been working as a professional assassin for the past ten years.”

“And?” Luke knew where this was going, a gut feeling he didn’t like.

“Rumors abound, of course, but the most recent rumor circulating among my associates is that Linden is working for York.”

“An interesting rumor, especially since both men are presumed dead.”

“Sometimes rumors have a basis in facts. I have no proof that the billionaire Malcolm York who lived on the Pacific Island of Amara is alive, but I know for a fact that Anthony Linden is very much alive because I had drinks with him six months ago, the night before he left for America.”
