Description
Prescient and chilling, DeMille's #1 New York Times bestselling novel takes us into the heart of a new Cold War with a clock-ticking plot that has Manhattan in its crosshairs. After a showdown with the notorious Yemeni terrorist known as The Panther, John Corey has left the Anti-Terrorist Task Force and returned home to New York City, taking a job with the Diplomatic Surveillance Group. Although Corey's new assignment with the DSG-surveilling Russian diplomats working at the U.N. Mission-is thought to be "a quiet end," he is more than happy to be out from under the thumb of the FBI and free from the bureaucracy of office life. But Corey realizes something the U.S. government doesn't: The all-too-real threat of a newly resurgent Russia. When Vasily Petrov, a colonel in the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service posing as a diplomat with the Russian U.N. Mission, mysteriously disappears from a Russian oligarch's party in Southampton, it's up to Corey to track him down. What are the Russians up to and why? Is there a possible nuclear threat, a so-called radiant angel? Will Corey find Petrov and put a stop to whatever he has planned before it's too late? Or will Corey finally be outrun and outsmarted, with America facing the prospect of a crippling attack unlike anything it's ever seen before?

DeMille (The Panther, 2012, etc.) follows former NYPD detective John Corey, the bane of Middle Eastern terrorists, after he's contracted to the Diplomatic Surveillance Group. Corey's sardonic voice drives this adventure, as he and his team surveil Russian U.N. delegate and SVR Col. Vasily Petrov. There's reason to pay attention: SVR equals Russian CIA. After Corey's bounced around alphabet-soup counterterror groupsand followed too few rulesCorey's bosses think the tamer DSG will keep him out of trouble, but the assignment's causing marital friction. His wife, FBI Agent Kate Mayfield, remains with the Anti-Terrorism Task Force, and her boss has the hots for her. Tailing a "dip" or not, Corey's got cop instincts. He knows something bad is afoot when Petrov and his SVR companions motor to a Russian oligarch's Long Island mansion and then sneak away on a pleasure boat. Corey doesn't trust Russians, noting that "when I compared them to the Islamist I had spent years following and investigating, I had no doubt who was the most dangerous." Good instincts: Petrov's supposed to "destroy Lower Manhattan and destroy all evidence of who had perpetrated the attack." The Russian is a desperate dude with daddy issues: his SMERSH-veteran father, a recipient of the Order of Lenin, messaged, "Come home in glory. Or do not come home." Complications arise when Buckminster Harris, a double-secret CIA-type, shows up. Harris left Corey to die in Yemen. And Corey's supposed trainee partner, Tess Faraday? She's a Harris-controlled undercover State Department Intelligence agent. In a plot as high-speed as the SAFE-boat Corey uses to chase Petrov, DeMille offers a less-verbose version of Clancy's Sum of All Fears, all while rendering Long Island familiarly and adding sparks between Corey and Tess. Perfect summer beach reading, with or without margaritas, full of Glock-and-boat action. Copyright Kirkus Reviews, used with permission.

In the latest John Corey outing (after 2012's The Panther, a No. 1 New York Times best seller), Corey has left the Anti-Terrorist Task Force after his little run-in with the Yemeni terrorist called the Panther and is back in New York City working for the Diplomatic Surveillance Group. Now he's worried about the Russians. With a 400,000-copy first printing and a ten-city tour.
