A hole in the jungle. A house on stilts over a riverbank…
Bishop aimed his gun at the young woman facing the mirror.
“So here’s the life-or-death question: who are you and where’s van Eyck?”

“You sent the message. You serviced his drop. You showed at the meet.”
“I don’t know him—I don’t know anything!”
“You’re lying.” Bishop thumbed back the hammer.
Dead inside, he wanted to kill. Something, someone, anyone…
This one.
Ten years have passed since Nathan Muir rescued Tom Bishop from a Suzhou Prison and escaped the Agency for good. Now, all his former agents have suddenly vanished leaving the CIA blinded around the globe.
As Aiken hides a fatal diagnosis, hoping to trade his law books for one shot at the cloak and dagger of the field, a coded message comes in from Malaysia with astonishing news: a lone spy has survived the mysterious purge. Long forgotten in Kuala Lumpur, he claims to know the secrets behind Muir’s networks and a new cataclysmic danger threatening the world.
There’s just one catch. He’ll only come in to the one man Langley trusts less and despises more than Nathan Muir: Tom Bishop.
"In a nutshell, the mythology of Nathan Muir is nothing short of epic, and nothing he says or does should be ignored. Electric from the get-go, Beckner's sequel is a supercharged fireball, a raging inferno of action and thrill." - RECOMMENDED
