Klappentext zu „DeMille, N: Lion “
¿Have a safe jump, Mr Corey.¿Detective John Corey is floating to earth, his skydiver¿s parachute billowing above him. His wife, FBI agent Kate Mayfield, is mere metres away, beneath a chute of her own. And clinging to Kate in midair, aiming a knife at her throat and a Glock at Corey, is the most dangerous man alive: Asad Khalik, code name The Lion ¿ infamous terrorist, ice-blooded assassin, and Corey¿s greatest nemesis.
¿I promised you I would return, Corey¿¿
It¿s been three years since Corey last traded words ¿ and bullets ¿ with The Lion, who vanished after a devastating attack on American soil. But with Khalil¿s spectacular return, the threat of a terrorist apocalypse now darkens the globe. The Lion wants revenge. And with Kate¿s life in the balance, so does Corey.
