Evan knew this was going to be his last and biggest caper. The pagan pigeon was worth seventy million. and he wanted twenty for himself. The pigeon was a long-time dealer in depravity. and now the man wanted to plunge further into the insane mire of human vice. Evan thought himself ethical: he only killed for profit.
