JASON BOURNE: THE LEANER, MEANER JAMES BOND FOR THE 21ST CENTURY
Jason Bourne tackles a global media conspiracy and a murderous tech giant - but soon discovers that all that glitters isn't gold
Jason Bourne has faced many killers before, but none as dangerous as the assassin Lennon. Bourne thought he had his foe cornered in Iceland, only to have the killer escape in a fiery explosion. Lennon's trail leads Bourne to New York and then to Washington D.C. – and the body count rises with each deadly encounter.
Bourne believes the assassin has a new employer, a shadowy group called the Pyramid. The only clue is the murder of a young German woman, killed in D.C. while on her way to a covert meeting. But the woman's entire identity is a lie, and news reports of her death have been strangely twisted and suppressed.
Finding the truth about this woman may be Bourne's only chance to catch Lennon – and uncover the global conspiracy behind the Pyramid. But the chase comes with high stakes. Bourne's former lover, journalist Abbey Laurent, is digging into the mystery too, and Abbey soon finds herself in Lennon's crosshairs. Bourne will need to use every bit of his tradecraft and his genius for mayhem to expose this web of lies and murder before Lennon kills the woman he loves.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Thriller Award winner Freeman's assured third contribution to the Bourne franchise (after 2021's The Bourne Treachery) finds Jason Bourne on the trail of Vladimir Putin's favorite assassin, the man known as Lennon. Besides wanting to take down the killer for his many assassinations, Bourne wants to question him because he has the keys to Bourne's forgotten past. Bourne finally corners Lennon in a cabin in Iceland, but he escapes a fiery death when his assistant, codenamed Yoko, arrives in a helicopter and whisks him away. Meanwhile, Bourne's old girlfriend, journalist Abbey Laurent, who hasn't seen him in two years, is looking into the death of a mysterious German woman in Washington, D.C. Bourne's hunt and Abbey's investigation lead them toward each other—and to the Pyramid, a secret organization that will stop at nothing to achieve its nefarious goals. Never mind the familiar plot. Exciting action scenes, the untangling of the Pyramid mystery, Bourne's fighting skills, and the enduring conundrum of his lost past keep the pages turning. Freeman is a worthy successor to Robert Ludlum.
