Synopsis
CURE's mission is in danger, its secrets on the brink of being revealed. As a precaution, Remo and Chiun have been cut loose without support, without resources, without oversight. Remo has a single week to plug the leak, silence the opposition and bury the bodies, or Smith will have to pull the plug. Complex problems demand increasingly creative solutions: this time, the Destroyer will have to dip his toes in the shark-infested waters of Florida politics!
ABOUT THE SERIES: Sentenced to death for a crime he didn't commit, ex-cop Remo Williams is rescued from the electric chair and recruited by a secret government organization as an assassin, targeting criminals who are beyond the law. Remo's trainer is a curmudgeonly old Korean named Chiun, whose mastery of the terrifyingly powerful martial art of Sinanju makes him the deadliest man alive.
The winning combination of action, humor, and mysticism has made the Destroyer one of the best-selling series of all time. With more than 150 books and over 50 million copies sold worldwide, the Destroyer has been praised by the LA Times as "flights of hilarious satire," and gave birth to the mythology of the brash young Westerner taught by an ancient, inscrutable master.
