Features & Highlights

  • The first in a series featuring Jon Reznick, covert assassin for the US Government. Since his wife died in the Twin Towers, Jon Reznick, a covert assassin for the US Government, has cared about nothing except his eleven-year-old daughter. But when he's ordered by his handler to kill a man in an exclusive Washington DC hotel, he discovers his intended victim is really a government scientist working on a secretive military project. Reznick is quickly ensnared in an extraordinary web of murder, extortion and double-crosses - and then his daughter's safety is threatened as well. But Jon isn't just up against the shadowy group who want the scientist eliminated. FBI chief Martha Meyerstein wants Reznick captured as well. And soon both Reznick and Meyerstein find themselves in the middle of a terrifying plot by a foreign government to launch a bio-terrorism strike against the United States.

Totally gripping

I read this in two sittings and loved it. Reznick, the main character, is a classic of the genre - taciturn, hard-bitten, damaged, but with a realism that makes him very much three-dimensional. That realism carries on through the book - there are plenty of high-octane thrills but they are never beyond the bounds of credibility - which makes the book all the more gripping. Can't wait for the next Reznick outing.
