Description:

These are the absolute best of our bestselling hardcover titles -- published in paperback eight to twelve months after our hardcover publication date. Ideal for outreach and nursing home programs.Having survived three bullet wounds on the NYPD, John Corey figures that he's used up his allotment of luck. Nevertheless, he has signed on as a contract agent with the Federal Anti-Terrorist Task Force and is awaiting the arrival of a Libyan defector at JFK airport. But something goes horribly wrong: after killing everyone on the flight, "The Lion" attacks the airport's ATTF headquarters and disappears. As a bloody trail of terror streaks across the country, John and his FBI "mentor", Kate Mayfield, soon learn that their quarry is more than a man: he has all the instincts of a predatory wild animal.
