Warhammer 40,000: The King of the Spoil

Within the vast sprawl of Varangantua ties the Spoil. It is a broken crossroads, forsaken by the Lex, abandoned by the city's uncaring masters, where the only choice is a slow death in the manufactories, or a quick one on the street.

And it is in turmoil.

Andreti Sorokin, the gangster king whose vicious rule brought order to the Spoil, is deal, slain in the most brutal fashion. Melita Voronova, skilled info-broker and reluctant agent of the imperious Valtteri cartel, is tasked with uncovering the mystery  of who killed Sorokin, and preventing his fragile alliance of thugs and narco-pushers from collapsing into the chaos.

As street-blades clash and gang leaders turn against one another, Melita's instincts tell her there is a larger conspiracy at work. Someone has created this crisis not merely to disrupt the Spoil, but to overturn the foundations of Varangantua itself.
