Warhammer Crime
The King of the Spoil
A Warhammer Crime Novel
The death of a powerful crime lord sends the city careening into a full-blown street war, and an info-broker seeks the truth in an attempt to hold fragile gang alliances together.
READ IT BECAUSE
It’s a chaotic peek into the seedy underbelly of Varangantua, a sprawling world where life is cheap – and a display of how even a tyrant can be better than a power vacuum…
THE STORY
Within the vast sprawl of Varangantua lies the Spoil. It is a broken crossroads, forsaken by the Lex, abandoned by the city’s uncaring masters, where the only choice is a slow death in the manufactories, or a quick one on the street. And it is in turmoil.
Andreti Sorokin, the gangster king whose vicious rule brought order to the Spoil, is dead, slain in the most brutal fashion. Melita Voronova, skilled info-broker and reluctant agent of the imperious Valtteri cartel, is tasked with uncovering the mystery of who killed Sorokin, and preventing his fragile alliance of thugs and narco-pushers from collapsing into chaos. As street-blades clash and gang leaders turn against one another, Melita’s instincts tell her there is a larger conspiracy at work. Someone has created this crisis not merely to disrupt the Spoil, but to overturn the foundations of Varangantua itself.
