James Ryker thought he had started a new life away from the chaos and violence. He couldn’t have been more wrong.Carl Logan dedicated nearly twenty years of his life to the Joint Intelligence Agency. Now living in a secret location, under the new identify of James Ryker, he wants nothing more than to be left alone, the chance to start a new life away from chaos, violence, destruction and deceit.… destruction and deceit.
It’s not long, however, before Ryker’s short-lived idyll is destroyed when he is tracked down by Peter Winter, his ex-boss at the JIA. Winter brings with him news of the murder of a woman in Spain, Kim Walker, whose fingerprints match those of one of Ryker’s former adversaries who’s been missing presumed dead for years – an infamous female assassin known as the Red Cobra.
A cyber attack at the JIA led to the Red Cobra’s profile being compromised, and Winter believes JIA agents may now be at risk too, Ryker included. But Ryker knew the elusive Red Cobra better than anyone, and when he sees the grisly pictures of Kim Walker’s corpse, he has news for Winter – she isn’t the assassin at all …
So just who is the mystery dead woman? And where is the real Red Cobra?

Great read.
Really, really enjoyable and action packed!
Some of the action scenes play out like a movie and the motives behind certain characters are cleverly held back.
A great start to the series and very much recommended.
My second book in this series. Although I was familiar with the backstory I was never-the-less entertained by the writing style and presentation. The book becomes a page turner because of the anticipation of -what next? I look forward to the next book to see how the Red Cobra is drawn into the game.
This was the first book by the author that I have read. Finished it and promptly ordered and am now reading my second one. Am sure when finished will be purchasing the next one as well. I like this author and the way the books are written.
This book is good but intensive and violent. It is well written, with a surprise ending. However, it is a little far-fetched.
ended abruptly, like they are setting up for a sequel
An action-packed story with plenty of twists and turns. Hard to put down!
Not a bad plot but didn’t get to really know the main characters.
Tough guy action and excitement. I loved it !
Very good, great twist
Couldn’t put it down. Daniel Silva fans will love it.
Good action packed thriller. I liked the characters and the pace. The dialogue was interesting. The international flavor was a good touch and the author kept me guessing. Good read.
It was slow
It is a very good action thriller with surprise twists. Very good read.
While I enjoyed this story. But at times it was not very logical.
good read
I enjoyed very much. Each chapter was well done and the twists and turn that each chapter brought made you want to read on and on. Ultimately, the end. Kind of leaves you hanging. I look forward to his next book.
Excellent reading material. Fast paced. Thoroughly enjoyed the book.
Well done kept me guessing up to the end.
