About this ebook

Carl Strople was covertly recruited to Black Ops and given the most brutal kind of training any man or woman could endure. Now he belongs to The X Group. But why do they call him “Saint”?

An assassin. The most effective killer in the world. And yet . . . Carl Strople struggles to retain fleeting memories that betray an even more ominous reality. He's been told part of the truth--but not all of it.

Invasive techniques have stripped him of his identity and made him someone new--for this he is grateful. But there are some things they can't take from him. The love of a woman, unbroken loyalties to his past, the need for survival.

From the deep woods of Hungary to the streets of New York, Saint takes you on a journey of betrayal in a world of government cover-ups, political intrigue, and one man's search for the truth. In the end, that truth will be his undoing.

The Bookshelf Reviews, which gave this novel from Ted Dekker 5 out of 5 stars, stated, “Saint reads like The Bourne Identity [Robert Ludlum] meets The Matrix meets Mr. Murder [Dean Koontz].”

• Full-length suspense with a thread of fantasy
• Book two in the Paradise series: Showdown, Saint, Sinner

Ratings and reviews

This was the first book I ever read for pleasure. I didn't know it was the second of a trilogy when I bought it, so I bought the first and third. Then the circle books. Then the chaos series. This is the book that turned me on to Ted dekker. By far my favorite author. I used to hate reading until I discovered Saint.

confusing but it jumps right into the action i dont get how the x group is hiding his past and how this relates to showdown. good book so far i like the way dekker makes you belive matthews his son and kelly is his wife.
