Eventually her search leads to the frontier world of Kanisa, deep inside the Carina Colonies, where she finally confronts them...and ultimately the employer of the Faceless Men. Here she uncovers more than just corruption, money laundering and extra judicial deaths squads. Confronting the true mastermind of the Faceless Men and their campaign to eradicate the organised crime families, Ellie finds the true motivations for the hidden war, and the ramifications that will inevitably follow.
