In this explosive, breathtaking thriller, which became the second in a series of bestsellers about Alex Hawke, the fearless intelligence operative Lord Alexander Hawke competes with the cunning and bloodthirsty psychopath in a desperate race to prevent American Armageddon. The dark figure known as the Dog is believed to be a ruthless terrorist who systematically and brutally murders American diplomats and their families around the world. As the death toll rises inexorably, the U.S. government is urging Alex Hawk, along with former New York City police officer and Navy SEAL Stockley Jones, to begin a search for the killer behind these murders. Hawke, compared to whom James Bond looks like a “sloppy, stupid watchmaker” (reviews of Kirkus), soon follows the trail that leads back to London in the dashing nineties, when Arab oil money fueled a wasteful and sometimes diabolical lifestyle. Other unclear evidence points to the Florida Keys, where a vicious killer is hiding outside the gates of the legendary museum. And on a remote Indonesian island, where a madman tinkers with strains of a deadly virus and cleverly waits for his time. Hawk must summon resources deep within himself and race against time to stop a catastrophic attack on America's most populous cities and avenge an inexplicable and horrific crime that has left him devastated. "Killer" is an exciting adventure filled with ruthless action and stylish details, with a hero for whom readers will cheer. And certainly not recommended for the faint of heart. When creating the cover, he used the image and design of the cover of an English-language publishing house.
