Meanwhile, the Russian mafia is moving into new territory in Toronto. They want to know who this Darwin guy is and why he is still breathing. When they show up to take possession of his body, Darwin has one surprise left for the mobsters before he dies.The Scythe - Book ThreeIn book one, the Italian mafia goes after the wrong man and pays for it.

In book three, the Russian mafia has different plans.They want to take over Toronto, a large territory previously thought too big for one family. But Darwin and his wife stand in the way. The Russians intend to execute Darwin as a peace offering to the Italians. First, they must catch him; using his wife as bait is not enough. While the Russians attempt to organize a meeting of rival families where Darwin will be terminated, something the Italians tried twice and failed, Darwin realizes he's on his own. With the FBI unable to help and his wife in the hands of the enemy, Darwin decides the only way to win this war is to kill them all.
