But leadership in the CIA is being changed, and not for the better. A lawyer without operational experience takes charge. He orders Slaton to eliminate three important Chinese nationals - in China. An assassin, Monkh, is tasked to take a second shot at the President, with support from a high-level insider. Monkh also targets Slaton and comes close to succeeding. Then the hunted becomes a hunter once more, and heads to Washington. Note: Opinions expressed in reviews and articles on this site are those of the author(s) and not necessarily those of BookLoons.
