W hrend die Stadt ihn von beiden Seiten in die Schusslinie dr ckt, holen ihn zugleich die Geister seiner Vergangenheit ein: Seit dem Mord an seinen Eltern verfolgen ihn Albtr ume, eine b sartige Stimme und diese eisblauen Augen, die er nie vergessen konnte - und ausgerechnet hier sp rt er dieselbe Dunkelheit wieder, als w re sie ihm gefolgt.
