It is the fall of 1951, and the Korean War is raging. Twenty-six-year-old Nicholai Hel has spent the last three years in solitary confinement at the hands of the Americans. Hel is a master of hoda korosu, or 'naked kill,' is fluent in seven languages, and has honed extraordinary 'proximity sense'—an extra-awareness of the presence of danger.
