The Undertaker

In the Italian mountains, The Animals have chosen their prey. They approach their victims, two young girls, with savage instincts. For two days they fall upon their targets, showing no mercy. The devastation left in their wake was more than any policeman could stomach. Elsewhere, millionaire Arne Arnesson is travelling to Rome with his wife Pipaluk. Their son Bjorn has become entangled with a new girlfriend. She has led him to The Happy House in the lower slopes of Monte Bellino, a refuge for drug addicts, a commune for the weak and the vulnerable. They exist at the mercy of a group of drug dealers who are linked to the Mafia. But when Arne goes to bring his son home, he is already dead. Every member of The Happy House has been killed with an overdose. Back at the hotel, Pipaluk is taken. It is a ‘snatch’ case – the relative of wealthy businessmen are kidnapped and held for ransom by the Italian Mafia. In exchange for untraceable gold, they are returned unharmed to their loved ones. But not this time. Pipulak is being held by hired muscle, worse even than the infamous The Animals. When Pipaluk is finally returned, ravaged and abused beyond recognition, Arne swears to seek revenge for his wife and his son. There is only one man who can help him seek and destroy his enemies. Gibson will be hired to eliminate the men that the police can’t find, and that the world’s top assassins cannot kill. Deep in the Tuscan hills, Gibson must lead Arne to the men who abused his wife; men who live without law or mercy. Their only advantage is that they are the hunters, not the hunted. But they must pray that The Animals don’t find them first... ‘The Undertaker’ is an expertly plotted hunt-and-kill thriller.
