Descripción editorial
The identity of a deadly Chinese spy lies hidden in Jason Bourne’s lost memory in this latest entry in the #1 New York Times bestselling series.
Shadow – the head of Treadstone – has found evidence of massive Chinese espionage activity in the U.S. The spy running the operations is a shadowy American known only by the codename Bai Ze. No one knows who he is, but when Shadow consults the Files – the hacked AI database she stole from the Chinese – she discovers that Jason Bourne encountered Bai Ze during an operation eight years earlier.
The trouble is, Bourne doesn’t remember him.
As Bourne hunts for the elusive spy, he meets a reporter named Laney Reese who shares his strange affliction: eight years ago, Laney lost her entire memory, too. For Bourne, that can’t be a coincidence. He’s convinced that whatever happened to both of them is at the heart of the Chinese espionage operation.
With Laney at his side, Bourne follows a zigzagging trail of clues to a quirky billionaire and his ex-wife, both of whom may have ties to Bai Ze. As he gets closer to his shadowy adversary, Bourne begins to suspect that he’s walking into a trap. But it’s a trap with an almost irresistible bait – the chance to recover his forgotten memories.
Now Bourne must decide how far he’ll go to get his life back.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Freeman's rip-roaring seventh Jason Bourne adventure (after The Bourne Vendetta) opens eight years before the present day, when Bourne, on a Treadstone mission, witnesses Chinese assassins committing a murder and then loses four days of short-term memory. Now, Shadow—Bourne's former partner and the current head of Treadstone—wants him to undergo regression therapy. Shadow explains that the Chinese have a powerful agent in the U.S., and the only thing Treadstone knows about him is his code name, Bai Ze. Using AI software, Shadow has learned that, during the four-day gap in Bourne's memory, he crossed paths with Bai Ze in the small town of Fish Creek, Wis. Soon, Bourne is back in the Midwest trailing his quarry and trying to stay alive as he puzzles out the mystery of his amnesia. Aiding him in his search is Wisconsin journalist Laney Reese, who's guarding a game-changing secret of her own. Readers will cheer Freeman's return to form after a bumpy previous outing. Sleek, action-packed, and just steamy enough, this is espionage fiction at its most fun.
