A high-octane thriller from Ward Larsen, the author of The Perfect Assassin.

 

David Slaton has a good life. He has a new wife and a house in the Virginia suburbs. But he also has a dark past. Slaton is one of the world's most lethal assassins.

 

After decades of work, a brilliant scientist has taken Iran to the threshold of its dream—a nuclear-tipped ballistic missile. The scientist must be stopped, but there is only one man skilled and deadly enough to pull off such an impossibly dangerous assignment. The Perfect Assassin has vowed never to kill again, but when his wife is attacked and forced to flee across Europe, events force his hand.

 

Slaton plots to assassinate one of the most closely guarded men on earth. Success is improbable. Survival unlikely. Only when he learns the labyrinthine truth does Slaton see one high-stakes chance. A chance for an assassin's game . . . .
