5.0 out of 5 stars One man on the hunt for one terrorist...

An amazing suspense thriller with an unforgettable character. It screams "blockbuster movie" and I simply could not put it down though I paced myself so I could make the pleasure last longer. It is one of the best I've read in ages!

Readers will be glued to the pages in this race against time -- can Pilgrim find the lone man intent on destroying America with a scheme so heinous, and with a 100% kill rate, that is about to be unleashed on innocent people? Sent on a globe-trotting covert mission to find and stop this threat, Pilgrim seeks answers from the scant information he has and the few clues he is able to find. What does the "perfect murder" in a sleazy US hotel have to do with an "accidental death" in Bodrum, Turkey? The only key may be a tenuous connection between a book and a very radical Islamist.

I will be recommending this to everyone who loves heart-stopping action without the stereotypical inclusion of a ridiculous romance, a smart-mouthed sidekick, or a trusty animal. I had given up on this genre until now!

Thank you to NetGalley and Atria/Emily Bestler publishers for the e-book ARC to review.
