Synopsis

From the New York Times bestselling author of The Day After Tomorrow and The Day of Confession comes an all new heart-pounding thriller
The Los Angeles Police Department's famed 5-2 squad boards a commuter train in an attempt to take a cold-blooded killer into custody. John Barron, the newest and youngest member of the elite LAPD unit, learns quickly that the 5-2 has their own deadly system of justice, and that even the slightest protest will result in his suffering the same swift fate. Thus begins a dark, explosive struggle between good and evil—pitting Barron's squad against an exceedingly imaginative and brutal killer.
Suddenly the game widens when John flees to London with his sister, Rebecca, and they are thrown into a race against time. Pursuing them is a baroness, beautiful and cruel, who will stop at nothing to protect her family, her fortune, and her global ambitions. Her secret—spanning oceans, continents, the collapse of the USSR, even the death of the Tsars—is a stunning revelation that could catapult her to the pinnacle of world power.

Goodreads review by Frank on August 13, 2016

I can't say enough about this book. A tightly packed action novel that by no means seemed as long as its 700 pages. I read this without feeling the presence of the author--almost like the story told itself. Very well done, no back paging to refresh or remember characters, every detail vivid and memo......more

Goodreads review by Patrick on February 09, 2017

I found this an exciting read. It was full of action, especially the first 250 pages. It took quite a while to figure out just why Raymond was killing all the people. Just what was the motive? When we finally find out, it is very unexpected. This is kind of what I've come to expect of Allan Folsom's......more

Goodreads review by David on July 12, 2009

The first hundred and fifty pages of this novel was slam-bang page turning action. This was followed by several hundred pages of really good thriller material. This was followed by an uneven and less than thrilling hundred pages, and then suddenly we were back to some exciting action again. The point......more

Goodreads review by Jan on January 08, 2018

Loved this book. It was filled with excitement, a plot to obtain the Russian throne, that takes the reader all over Europe and other lands. The story is amazing that it takes the reader inside the LAPD, the French Police H.Q. the Russian Police, and a Royal Family, with a member that continues to as......more

Goodreads review by Henri on May 31, 2020

The first part, Los Angeles centres around a mysteriously violent man who emerges from the midst of the take down of another criminal ge......more
