Junior is a hemophiliac -- and every crime syndicate in the country can't wait to take a shot at him as payback to his dad. To survive, Barracuda will have to navigate hitmen, corrupt cops, black ops, a Central American strongman, and rescue a damsel in distress. No kidding. 32 PGS./Explicit Content ...$3.99 Cover price $3.99.
