A war hero and the recipient of the Congressional Medal of Honor, Sergeant Raymond Shaw is keeping a deadly secretβeven from himself. During his time as a prisoner of war in North Korea, he was brainwashed by his Communist captors and transformed into a deadly weaponβa sleeper assassin, programmed to kill without question or mercy at his captorsβ signal. Now heβs been returned to the United States with a covert mission: to kill a candidate for US President. Shawβs former commanding officer, Major Bennett Marco, is the only one who knows his secret. And he must untangle a complex thread of lies, betrayal, and murder to uncover the truth of a conspiracy that goes all the way to the top of the US governmentβbefore itβs too late. This compelling military psychological thriller is the basis for the 1962 adaptation starring Frank Sinatra and Angela Lansburyβand it will have you on the edge of your seat until the end.
