The 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.
