Published by Hachette New Zealand, 1 November 2012, $36.99 RRP

The next blockbuster John Corey thriller from the master of the game.

It's one of the most dangerous and volatile countries in the world: Yemen. A Middle Eastern hotbed of corruption and insurgency and the perfect training ground for Islamic terrorists.

When Anti-Terrorist Task Force agent John Corey and his wife, FBI agent Kate Mayfield, are assigned to overseas posts in Sana'a, Yemen's capital city, they are tasked with hunting down a high-ranking Al Qaeda operative. This man, known as Othman, is wanted for terrorist acts and multiple murders… and the CIA is convinced that he is planning a spectacular attack on the Americans stationed in Yemen.

John and Kate quickly realize they are latecomers to a dangerous game that has been going on for years; they don't know the rules or what the score is. What they do know is that there is more to their assignment that meets the eye… and that the hunters are about to become the hunted.

In an action-packed and terrifying race to take down one of the most ruthless men alive, Nelson DeMille reunites readers with his charismatic hero John Corey.
