Synopsis: Following the success of The Apocalypse Watch and the smashing return of the vintage Ludlum novel The Cry of the Halidon, Robert Ludlum--the unsurpassed master of the international super-thriller--has crafted another tale filled with suspense, deception, serpentine plot twists, and explosive revelations in his 21st high-voltage novel The Matarese Circle. Ludlum's multimillion-copy spellbinder introduced a treacherous international cabal of powerbrokers and their hired assassins. More than twenty years ago, the top CIA and KGB agents joined together to ensure that, in an explosive act, the Matarese conspiracy went up in flames. But now Ludlum returns with a stunning thriller for the twenty-first century...and like a phoenix from the ashes, the terror has reappeared. Secret deals are in the making, massive mysterious transactions steeped in corruption and murder. The players stand at the highest pinnacles of global finance and government. It is an unprecedented consolidation of money, power, and ruthlessness. Their ultimate aim: worldwide economic domination and all it entails...by whatever means necessary.
