About this title

Review:

""Prayers for the Assassin is Robert Ferrigno's biggest and boldest novel so far, a white-knuckle thriller that I couldn't put down. Here is Ferrigno -- gambler, prophet, illusionist, and one of our bravest storytellers -- at his spectacular best."

-- T. Jefferson Parker, author of "The Fallen

""Prayers for the Assassin" is one of those rare books that both educates and entertains. It will make you stop and question everything you take for granted. I literally couldn't put it down."

-- Vince Flynn, "New York Times" bestselling author of "Consent to Kill"

"Ferrigno immerses you in a dark alter-world of paranoia and intrigue in the grand tradition of "Fatherland" and "The Handmaid's Tale." Prayers for the Assassin is close-the-last-page-and-look-at-the-world-differently good."
