About this ebook

Before he can lead a covert mission on the orders of the President, a former CIA assassin must track down the source of a terrorist attack and navigate a shadowy world of betrayal and political secrets in this #1 New York Times bestselling thriller.

John Carr, aka Oliver Stone-once the most skilled assassin his country ever had-stands in Lafayette Park in front of the White House. Inside, the British prime minister is being honored at a state dinner. Then, just as the prime minister's motorcade leaves, a bomb explodes in the park, and in the chaotic aftermath Stone is given an urgent assignment: find those responsible.

British MI-6 agent Mary Chapman becomes his partner in the search for the unknown attackers. But their opponents are elusive, skilled, and increasingly lethal. Worst of all, the park bombing may have been only the opening salvo in their plan. With nowhere else to turn, Stone enlists the help of the only people he knows he can trust: the Camel Club.

Ratings and reviews

This book was a "Hell of a roller coaster". Pardon the pun. I only wish Stone & Marisa could've made things happen. But she got what she deserved.

Thoroughly captivating, after the first few chapters. I was having a hard time trying to figure how it would connect, but Wham, I couldn't put it down. Then you really got me in the last chapter. I must say I at least wish "Oliver and Mary" had at LEAST kissed . !!!!!

Starts a little slow but highly enjoyable. The author brings these character humanity to life.
