The Lion is the fifth book in Nelson DeMille’s explosive John Corey series. Former NYPD Homicide detective and Anti-Terrorist Task Force agent John Corey faces his most dangerous enemy once again—Asad Khalil, aka “The Lion”—a ruthless Libyan terrorist who vanished years ago after a reign of terror. Now, Khalil has returned to America, determined to settle old scores and unleash another wave of violence.
As Khalil hunts down those who stood in his way, Corey and his FBI agent wife, Kate Mayfield, must track him before more innocent lives are lost. But this time, Khalil is more cunning, more brutal, and more determined than ever to complete his deadly mission.
A high-stakes, pulse-pounding thriller, The Lion delivers non-stop action and a battle of wits between two relentless foes.
