Description

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 a former kidon, the most lethal Israeli assassin ever created.
After decades of work, a brilliant scientist has taken Iran to the threshold of its dream—a nuclear-tipped ballistic missile. Mossad must eliminate the man, but with a spy lurking high in its ranks there is only one option: bring back Slaton. The kidon has vowed to never 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 . . . .

        June 30, 2014
        At the start of Larsen’s fast-paced sequel to 2004’s The Perfect Assassin, former Mossad operative David Slaton, Israel’s most lethal assassin, has begun a new life in Virginia with a new identity and a new wife, Dr. Christine Palmer. Slaton has vowed never to kill again, but when Christine is attacked in a botched abduction attempt by Slaton’s former employers while attending a medical conference in Stockholm, he quickly realizes “you can never leave.” With his wife on the run and the new director of Mossad doing his best to force him back for one more job—the assassination of the head of Iran’s Atomic Energy Organization—Slaton must find a way out of his predicament while also saving Christine. A tightly woven storyline that builds to a series of bombshell concluding twists helps to make up for the cardboard characters. Amber Entertainment is currently adapting The Perfect Assassin into a major motion picture. Agent: Susan Gleason, Susan Gleason Literary Agency.
