And while the Emerald Archer has always known this, the intrusion of two unknown vigilantes into his home turf of Seattle proves to be a stark reminder of the truly brutal nature of life in the underworld.

2015Quotations: "The image of James Bond conjures charisma. But the casting of Craig follows with what Fleming wrote. Bond was not unattractive, but there was a cruelty about his mouth, and he was more real than Hollywood has portrayed him".
Mike Grell was married to Sharon Wright but their marriage ended in divorce. Currently, he lives with his third wife, Lauri, and a stepson.
