Description
Hammurabi Road es una oscura novela negra de retribución, justicia en el bosque y un acercamiento a un oso negro que nunca se soñó posible. Comenzamos con el triángulo eterno - cuatro hombres viajan en una camioneta; tres delante y uno atado con cinta adhesiva y atado en la parte de atrás. Es un claro caso de venganza ferroviaria, servido tan frío como un cuchillo de caza congelado.

It happened just yesterday or perhaps the day before.
The bombs were dropped.
No one knew why.
Maybe a political study was taken into careful consideration. Perhaps a research grant had been involved. A new plan to invigorate the stock market. Whatever the reason, due diligence was undoubtedly done and all aspects were carefully considered. Certainly, the motion was passed around the senate a time or two.
After all, an election was coming.
And,...
