The dead don't always die....

Top Company scientist Chen Jelinek has committed suicide. 

Vatic, a half-alive empath with no memory of who or what he is, will die in six hours if he can't find out why - or so the Company tells him - an "added incentive to get the job done". 

Our hero soon discovers he is one of the Skilled, a genetically enhanced human revered and despised in equal measure - a bloodhound with a terrifying past who'll stop at nothing in his pursuit of truth. 

And the Skilled always get their guy, don't they?
