M W Craven: Nobody's Hero, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

"Exhilarating and darkly comic. . . Craven effectively mixes the unvarnished brutality and high body count of Lee Child with the black humor of Mick Herron. . . A must read." -Publishers Weekly (starred review)

"This high-body-count romp is told with such verve and relish that even readers who shy from mayhem might find themselves on Koenig's side as he hurtles from one impossible near-death experience to the next." -The New York Times Book Review

A man who can't feel fear is in a race against time to find a woman who knows a secret that could take down the United States

When a shocking murder and abduction on the streets of London leads investigators to open a safe in Langley for the first time in ten years, they find a note directing them to a few key individuals. Three of the people on the list are dead. The fourth is Ben Koenig.

Koenig has no idea why his name is on the list. Then he realizes that he knows the woman who carried out the killings. Ten years earlier, without being told why, he was tasked with helping her disappear. Far from being a deranged killer, she is the gatekeeper of a secret that could take down America, and for the safety of the country, she has been in hiding for years-until now. And if she has resurfaced, the danger may be closer and more terrifying than anyone can imagine.

Ben Koenig has to find her before it's too late. But Ben suffers from a syndrome that means he can't feel fear. He doesn't always know when he should walk away . . . or when he's leading others into danger. Fast, brutal, smart, and violent, Nobody's Hero is an engrossing story of contract killers, international terrorism, hard choices, and the future of the country-and the world as we know it.

"Craven has unleashed Ben Koenig into the thriller world. Long may he raise hell in the pages." -David Baldacci
