Om denne e-bog
“One of the smartest, swiftest and most compelling spy novels I’ve read in years.” -Harlan Coben, #1 New York Times bestselling author
The head of Egypt’s State Internal Security is brutally murdered in a Cairo café—his assailant a faceless killer known only as the Palestinian. It is the opening move in a chilling game of terror that has caught the international intelligence community completely off-guard, and the CIA turns to the one man they believe can get to the twisted roots of a looming nightmare shrouded in mystery: a former Company operative code-named Scorpion.
The breakneck hunt for a mastermind is leading Scorpion from the Middle East to the dangerous underworld of the capitals of Europe. With the fate of the free world in the hands of two well- matched adversaries there is no margin for error. But a shocking truth has been kept from the determined manhunter . . . and beauty will blind him to the ultimate betrayal.
“Andrew Kaplan represents a gold standard in thriller writing.” —David Morrell, New York Times bestselling author of The Brotherhood of the Rose
“The nonstop action will keep readers racing through the pages and hoping that Kaplan will put Scorpion back into action as soon as possible.” — Publishers Weekly
“More heart-thumping twists and turns than Day of the Jackal and The Spy Who Came In From the Cold rolled into one. . . a textbook example of how to write a great thriller.” —Katherine Neville, New York Times bestselling author of The Eight
“A highly suspenseful page-turner. . . I hate to use the cliche but it’s true: I couldn’t put it down.” —Brian Garfield, Edgar award–winning author of Death Wish
“Action-packed, highly charged [and] fast-paced.” —Reza Kahlili, author of A Time to Betray
