The story

Art professor and mountaineer, Jonathan Hemlock, is a retired government assassin called on to return to work for two more "sanctions", a euphemism for officially approved killings. During his career with a secret government agency called C-2, Hemlock amassed a private collection of 21 rare masterpiece paintings, paid for from his previous sanctions. The director of C-2, Dragon, is an albino ex-Nazi confined to semi-darkness and kept alive by blood transfusions.
