About this listen

John Corey, former NYPD Homicide detective and special agent for the Anti-Terrorist Task Force, is back on the trail of Asad Khalil, the notorious Libyan terrorist known as 'The Lion'. Corey and his partner, agent Kate Mayfield, tracked Khalil across the US after his threats to wipe out the US in a horrific wave of terrorism. But after methodically eliminating his victims one by one, Khalil disappeared without a trace. Now, years later, Khalil has returned to America to take care of unfinished business. 'The Lion' is a killing machine on a mission of revenge, and John Corey will not stop until he rids the earth of this tyrant once and for all.

Really enjoyed this. Listening to the story after reading the book I found I was gripped by every chapter. Definitely a great listen

Gripping

A real Lion of a story which moves along at a cracking pace. A very believable and because of that a frightening story line brilliantly researched and superbly narrated too. I have read a couple of novels by DeMille in the past but I think this is by far the best of them.

Enjoyed this book and finished it in two days. Pity it is a sequel to his first book which is not available on Audible.
John Correy is a likable character with a good sense of humour.
Well researched book with some a gruesome description of what the Taliban do to prisoners.
Will look out for the next book featuring John Correy.

This is my first Demille. A great story with a superbly portrayed lead character. Brilliantly narrated by Scott brick. I loved this title.

A great audiobook

The story is well written. Hints of Sam Spade in the writing with humour in the right places.

The Narration as usual by Scott Brick is sensational.

What more can I say?

Nothing!

My first book by Nelson DeMille will not be the last.
