An explosive thriller from the world’s No.1 bestselling international writer.
Nicholas Bryson spent years as a deep cover operative for the American secret intelligence group, The Directorate. After a disastrous mission, Bryson was retired to a new identity. Now, years later, his cover is cracked and Bryson learns that The Directorate was not what it claimed to be – and that he was, in fact, a pawn being used against his country’s interests. The Directorate is headed for a dangerous endgame, and the CIA recruits Bryson to stop them.
But after years on the sidelines, Bryson’s field skills are rusty, his contacts unreliable, his instincts suspect and he no longer knows who – if anyone – can be trusted.

Summary
Overall Very good Ludlum novel, not his best, but worth a read, particularly if you are going on vacation and want to take along a good book. It details the exploits of Jonas Barrett, a former CIA operative with a new identity after his cover is blown. The big twist comes when we learn that Barrett's (Bryson was his former name) former boss was actually a Soviet military intelligence officer. And it goes from there. An enjoyable read.
