The Troubadour

The Troubadour is an elusive killer, a figure who haunts the Deadlock universe with his ability to strike and vanish without a trace. He is known above all for the shadow he casts over the lives of those he has marked.

He is the target of Holliday's quest for revenge, which the novel chronicles. It is this narrative thread that gives the Troubadour his significance: not so much for what he does on screen as for what he has set in motion—a relentless pursuit to bring him down.
