In a small suburban town, where only the nicest people live, friends, neighbours, everyone and anyone could be part of a monstrous conspiracy of international evil.

The machinery has already been set in motion. And at stake is the very existence of America - and the future of the entire free world...

Critic reviews

Ludlum stuffs more surprises into his novels than any other six-pack of thriller writers combined

An entertaining action thriller

A page-turner of non-stop action that should leave his fans begging for more

The real titan of the genre is Robert Ludlum

A writer who bests the bestsellers

It's themes and Ludlum's writing in general are as prescient as ever. The corruptive desire for power over fellow man, the ease at which everything we've come to know can unravel, the feeling that everything is ever so slightly out of place and that nothing is as it first appears (Chris McGeorge)
