The Scarlet Worm plot
"In the old west, the lucky ones died first. Luckier still were the ones who were never born at all!"
The assassin Print commits his murders with style and a sense of poetry. Print must silence a brothel owner who treats his employees cruelly. He has been loyal to his client Mr. Paul, but this last assignment presents Print with two problems. During the assignment, Print must teach a young aspiring assassin the tricks of the trade and the murder must be carried out quickly and bloodily. Especially the latter gives Print no time for his usual and imaginative method of murder.
