     This is the popular author's third book in the Scot Harvath series. It is undoubtedly the most difficult of the series to find, especially in such excellent condition.

     From the national bestselling author of The Lions of Lucerne and Path of the Assassin here is another electrifying international thriller featuring all-American hero Scot Harvath, as he plunges into the frigid heart of the Russian tundra to save the fragile state of the union.

      America’s worst nightmare has just become a brutal reality.  The most unlikely terrorist enemy of all now holds a knife against the country’s throat.  With both diplomatic and conventional military options swept from the table, the president calls upon Navy SEAL turned Secret Service agent, Scot Harvath, to disable a brilliantly orchestrated conspiracy intended to bring the United States to its knees.  Teamed with beautiful Russian Intelligence agent Alexandra Ivanova and a highly trained CIA paramilitary detachment, Harvath embarks on an adrenaline-fueled search that spans the world – and leads to a final, deadly showdown on American soil, with a lethal and sinister enemy from the past.
