NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
“First-rate suspense.”—People
Twenty years ago, top agents from the CIA and KGB banded together to bring down the Matarese Circle, an international cabal of power brokers and assassins whose sole objective was to achieve worldwide economic domination. Now the bloody Matarese dynasty is back—and the only man with the power to stop it may have already run out of time.
CIA case officer Cameron Pryce is hot on the trail of the new Matarese alliance. His only chance to terminate its ruthless activities is to follow the trail of blood money and stone-cold killers right to the heart of its deadly conspiracy. From the Hamptons to London’s Belgrave Square, Matarese assassins have already struck with brutal efficiency, eliminating all who stand in their way. Their chain of violence is impossible to stop—until Pryce gets a rare break. One of the Matarese’s victims survives long enough to whisper dying words that will blow the case wide open: the top secret code name for legendary retired CIA agent Brandon Scofield—the only man who has ever infiltrated the Matarese inner circle and lived to tell about it.

Summary
Review provided by Danno; Overall Not among Ludlum's best writing. It has interesting characters and it could have been great but it never quite delivers. The plot was sound and should have
made a good novel. We revisit the Matarese, a group of former CIA and KGB agents who banded together to dominate the world. It was originally dismantled in the previous novel The Matarese Circle. Sounds good so far, right? Maybe Ludlum was tired by the time he wrote this? I'm a big fan of Ludlum's and wanted to like this, but in the end I found it only ok.
