the boldest act of terrorism yet conceived.
Tyrell
Hawthorne was a naval intelligence officer--one of the
best--until the rainswept night in Amsterdam when his
wife was murdered, an innocent victim of the games spies
play. Since then he's been sailing charters in
the islands. Now he's called out of retirement for one
last assignment. For Hawthorne is the only man alive who
can track down the world's most
dangerous terrorist.
Now, with his life and the
life of the President hanging in the balance, Hawthorne
must follow Amanya's serpentine trail, a path of
seduction, betrayal, an instant death.
Racing from
a millionaire recluse's fortress to the social whirl of
Palm Beach and from the Oval Office to
treacherous Caribbean waters, Hawthorne will uncover a
sinister network of well-placed men and women who exist
to help this consummate killer--and the shattering
truth behind the Scorpio Illusion.
