THE PANTHER

Nelson DeMille

Filled with breathtaking plot turns and told in John Corey's inimitable voice, THE PANTHER is a brilliant depiction of one of the most treacherous countries in the world and raises disturbing questions about whether we can ever know who our enemies-or our allies-really are.

Anti-Terrorist Task Force agent John Corey and his wife, FBI agent Kate Mayfield, have just been posted overseas to Sana'a, Yemen - one of the most dangerous places in the Middle East. They haven't been given much information about their mission, except that they will be working with a small team to track down one of the masterminds behind the USS Cole bombing: a high-ranking Al Qaeda operative known as The Panther. Ruthless and elusive, he's wanted for multiple terrorist acts and murders, and the US government is determined to bring him down, no matter the cost.

Initially, John and Kate don't know why they've been handpicked for this particular assignment, but they soon realize they are being used as bait: The Panther is looking to avenge the death of Asad Khalil, the Libyan terrorist known as The Lion, whom John recently killed in New York.
Now, as latecomers to a deadly game, John and Kate don't know the rules, the players, or the score. What they do know is that there is more to their assignment than meets the eye-and that the hunters are about to become the hunted . . .

Comments

With Nelson DeMille’s wicked wit, THE PANTHER ticks all the boxes of another bestseller. The characters are razor sharp, true to life, scary, amoral and occasionally naïve... A huge bonus is that DeMille’s readers get the benefit of a highly enjoyable geography lesson with a side of history to boot.

Tricks and twists abound in this fast moving thriller where everyone has their own agenda and survival is the ultimate goal.

It’s a first-class thriller, regardless of whether John Corey is the reader’s old friend or a new acquaintance. DeMille’s latest will draw on both the author’s sterling track record and an A-list promotion campaign to vault it onto best-seller lists.

...his narrative moves rapidly and sparkles with interesting historical tidbits about Yemen, Noah’s Ark and Arsh Bilqis, the throne of Sheba. Quintessential DeMille: action-adventure flavored with double-dealing and covert conspiracy.

THE PANTHER debuted at #1 on the New York Times Bestseller list! Read more...
