Summary

To prevent a war in Asia -- one that could quickly spread to the rest of the world -- Paul Janson and Jessica Kincaid must learn the truth behind a young woman's murder...

Prominent U.S. Senator James Wyckoff hires former government agents-turned-private security consultants Janson and Kincaid to locate his teenage son Gregory. Gregory's girlfriend Lynell has been found strangled in a Seoul hotel, and Gregory has fled the city to avoid being arrested for the crime. But Senator Wyckoff insists that his son is innocent, suggesting that Lynell, who was a translator, may have been murdered because of something she overheard at a recent international conference. And when Janson and Kincaid realize they're being hunted by an assassin, they suspect that this crime--and the cover-up--were orchestrated by a shadowy unit of the U.S. State Department as part of a larger plot to provoke violence between North and South Korea.

Booklist Review

Corleone, author of the fast-paced Simon Fisk thrillers, is a perfect choice to pen the latest in the Janson series (only the first of which was actually written by Ludlum). In fact, with minor changes this could have been a Fisk novel. Paul Janson, a security consultant, is asked by a U.S. Senator to locate his missing son, who has been implicated in the murder of a young woman. The senator suspects a larger plot. Theory leads to conspiracy leads to life-and-death intrigue. Corleone is a first-class storyteller, and he brings a jolt of energy to this series and a step up to the Ludlum brand.--Pitt, David Copyright 2015 Booklist
