The main character, Drew, only wanted to be left alone to do penance for his sins when he withdrew from the world and went to live in an isolated monastery. When they came for him, six years later, he hadn't forgotten all he had learned in his training to be an assassin.

Probably Morrell's best book. It has the best pace, best characters, and some of the best action in his ouvre. Highly recommended to fans of spy thrillers.

Our hero for this second book of the series (first is Brotherhood of the Rose, and third is League of Night and Fog) is Drew Maclane, once assassin, now hiding from the world in seclusion. He is drawn out and must use his past professional skills to keep alive and find out who is after him.
Very exciting, non stop action. Not a techno-heavy thriller, as our hero must use his own wits and killing skills to negotiate each obstacle.
