Publisher Description
An electric thriller where spies go to battle, and the free world is at stake
In the final installment in William DeAndrea’s Clifford Driscoll series, master spy Driscoll is “going tame”—that is, recovering from a near-death accident and enjoying domestic peace. Driscoll, now known as Allan Trotter, hasn’t killed anyone in more than a year. He still works for the Agency—a super-secret intelligence unit of the US government known only to the president and its founding congressman—but he’s too full of pins and plates to be a field agent anymore. To top it off, he’s so smitten with beautiful media mogul Regina Hudson that he’s contemplating settling down. But Trotter’s new life is rudely interrupted when he learns that Soviet spies are bent on taking charge of the upcoming US presidential election. Their instrument is an influential senator, Hank Van Horn, a womanizing bad seed who— despite an upstanding reputation—once murdered one of his own staffers. And as if the election plot wasn’t perilous enough, Van Horn’s relentless son, Mark, soon gets involved in a very bloody way.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
American agent Alan Trotter is back in the fourth and last installment of DeAndrea's ( Cronos ) popular espionage series. We find Trotter recuperating from his most recent brush with death in the upstate New York home of Regina Hudson, CEO of the Hudson Group Media Conglomerate and, like Trotter, a second-generation spy. The two are in love, but Trotter has more pressing matters to deal with. He is now the head of a top-secret counterespionage agency, and when a string of electronics specialists is murdered, he's called back on the job--only to discover that Soviet spymaster Borzov has masterminded the sabotage of the upcoming presidential election. DeAndrea's plot twists and turns in a fast-breaking story of love, murder, kidnapping, extortion and betrayal, culminating in a spectacular action-packed finish and enhanced by a wicked sense of humor.
