Nicholai Hel, genius, mystic and the perfect assassin. He has been held by the Americans after a horrendous beating, torture experimentation, and three years of solitary confinement.

Now the Americans need him for a suicide mission, offering freedom, money, and a passport. His handler may be honorable, but those above him are not.

Trevanian has been reincarnated. Wilson moves forward with a crisp style, great . character development, and action that even dominates a formal tea ceremony. It's a keeper. I'd say more but I am going out Book shopping. Enjoy. ~~ Pam Allan
