Early Reviewers

A fresh spin on the espionage thriller from the co-writer of the films 3:10 TO YUMA and WANTED. There has always been a need in the spy game for covert missions so black no one in the American government, and almost no one in intelligence itself, knows of their existence. The left hand can't know what the right hand is doing. Austin Clay is that right hand, executing missions that would be disavowed by his own government if he's ever compromised. Clay is sent to track down a missing American operative, a man who was captured outside of Moscow, in the Russian countryside. Clay soon discovers the missing officer is only the beginning of the mission, and soon Clay finds himself protecting a desperate woman who believes a mole has penetrated the top levels of the US government, throwing the international balance of power into jeopardy. PRAISE FOR DEREK HAAS "A devastatingly cool series." --- New York Times Book Review, on THE ASSASSIN TRILOGY "Haas, a screenwriter (3:10 to Yuma), is a very good storyteller, and he nails the first-person, engagingly offhand narration." --- Booklist "Tight, swift debut thriller... reminiscent of The Manchurian Candidate. By telling the story from the assassin's point of view, Haas layers on novelistic texture." --- Kirkus Reviews, on THE SILVER BEAR (Starred Review) "A concept so high that it might give publishers and readers a nosebleed. ...beautifully crafted." --- Barnes & Noble Review -- Derek Haas is the co-writer of the films THE DOUBLE, WANTED, and 3:10 TO YUMA, and THE ASSASSIN TRILOGY: THE SILVER BEAR, COLUMBUS and DARK MEN. He lives in Los Angeles.
