By: Robert Ludlum

Category: fiction espionage

Synopsis:

The master of suspenseful and page-turning fiction delivers a stunning
new thriller for the twenty-first century.

The Matarese dynasty, first encountered in The Matarese Circle, is back
in all its questionable glory and evil. And the one man with enough
knowledge to stop it, CIA case officer Cameron Pryce, may not have
enough time. The Matarese countdown has begun and Pryce's only chance
to cut it off is to follow the trail of blood-money and stone-cold
killers to the heart of this deadly conspiracy.

Matarese assassins have already struck with brutal efficiency,
eliminating all who stand in their way. But on Spain's Costa del Sol,
one victim survived long enough to breathe these dying words: "Find
Beowulf Agate'words that reverberate all the way to CIA headquarters in
Langley, Virginia. Beowulf Agate is the code name for legendary
retired agent Brandon Scofield, the only man ever to penetrate the
Matarese and survive.

Now Cameron has to draw Scofield and his wife, Antonia, out of their
Caribbean paradise hideaway and back to a place of evil they thought
they'd never have to go again. Back to the Matarese circle of death.

From the oilfields of the Persian Gulf to the boardrooms of Manhattan,
from the hills of Corsica to the halls of power in Washington, the
circle is closing, the noose is tightening, the panic is spreading. And
Pryce has made a chilling discovery: the Matarese have broken new
ground deep inside the CIA.
