Now the bloody Matarese dynasty is back--and the only man with the power to stop it may have already run out of time. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e CIA case officer Cameron Pryce is hot on the trail of the new Matarese alliance. His only chance to terminate its ruthless activities is to follow the trail of blood money and stone-cold killers right to the heart of its deadly conspiracy. From the Hamptons to London's Belgrave Square, Matarese assassins have already struck with brutal efficiency, eliminating all who stand in their way. Their chain of violence is impossible to stop--until Pryce gets a rare break. One of the Matarese's victims survives long enough to whisper dying words that will blow the case wide open: the top secret code name for legendary retired CIA agent Brandon Scofield--the only man who has ever infiltrated the Matarese inner circle and lived to tell about it. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cb\u003e\"Welcome to Robert Ludlum's world . . . fast pacing, tight plotting, international intrigue.\"--\u003ci\u003eThe Plain Dealer\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRobert Ludlum\u003c\/b\u003e was the author of twenty-one novels, each a \u003ci\u003eNew York Times \u003c\/i\u003ebestseller.
