Blurb (from back cover): "The Lion is back.
"The last time federal Agent John Corey of the Anti-Terrorist Task Force heard from Asad Khalil-known in the world of international terrorism as The Lion-Khalil claimed he was defection to the the US...then he unleashed a deadly reign of destruction on American soil. While Corey and his partner, FBI agent Kate Mayfield, pursued him across the country, Khalil methodically eliminated his victims one by one and then disapppeared without a trace.
"Now, after the horrific events of September 11th, Khalil has resurfaced, returning to America to take care of unfinished business-murdering his select group of enemies, with Kate and John topping the list. The Lion is a killing machine loose in America with a mission of revenge, and John Corey will stop at nothing to achieve his own goal: find and kill Khalil before Khalil kills him."
