Synopsis

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

"[Demille is] a master." - Dan Brown, #1 bestselling author of The Da Vinco Code

John Corey, former NYPD Homicide detective and special agent for the Anti-Terrorist Task Force, is back. And, unfortunately for Corey, so is Asad Khalil, the notorious Libyan terrorist otherwise known as "The Lion." Last we heard from him, Khali had claimed to be defecting to the US only to unleash the most horrific reign of terrorism ever to occur on American soil. While Corey and his partner, FBI agent Kate Mayfield, chased him across the country, Khalil methodically eliminated his victims one by one and then disappeared without a trace.

Now, years later, Khalil has returned to America to make good on his threats and take care of unfinished business. "The Lion" is a killing machine once again loose in America with a mission of revenge, and John Corey will stop at nothing to achieve his own goal -- to find and kill Khahil.

The Lion

Review:

Written with a neat wry humour, it's full-on and fast-paced (Daily Mail)

DeMille's characters are rounded and appealing...his writing is fluid and accessible and his plots are tremendous (Sun)

'DeMille's combination of character and action are fun to read (Denver Post)

Nelson DeMille really delivers with this eagerly awaited follow-up to The Lion's Game, which might be his best page-turner to date...The Lion is not only fun, it is also essential reading (Bookreporter.com)
