Assassin's Code

Former assassin David Slaton discovers a cryptic message: on a memory stick, a photograph of the man who will soon assume command of DGSI, France’s elite counterterrorism force. With the country reeling under a wave of ISIS attacks, Zavier Baland will be trusted to make the Republic safe again. The problem—Slaton has seen Baland’s face before. He is Ali Samir, a terrorist Slaton is certain he killed fifteen years earlier. Unable to reconcile these facts, he heads west to investigate.

Thousands of miles away, a team of ISIS operatives departs war-ravaged Syria, heading north to the edge of the Arctic Circle. Their mission—obtain the ultimate terror weapon, derived from materials gone astray in the collapse of Soviet-era Russia.

Slaton keeps a breakneck pace, traveling from Tel Aviv to Paris and farther, each step uncovering both new threats and new opportunities. A small band of jihadists navigates the Baltic in a hijacked boat, steering toward a strike that will bring France to her knees. On the third side of a devil’s triangle, France’s incoming counterterrorism chief prepares a labyrinthine plot of his own. Only one man is in a position to stop the gathering storm.
