The best-selling author of "The Fourth Estate" and "Honor Among Thieves" injects enough plot-twisting ingenuity, exotic characterization, and narrative surprises to keep the pages of "The Eleventh Commandment" turning. Connor Fitzgerald, a Medal of Honor recipient and devoted family man, has been leading a double life as a the CIA's most deadly assassin. Only days before his retirement he is pitted against an unlikely enemy—his own boss, Helen Dexter, director of the CIA. Dexter's stranglehold on the agency is threatened by one decision, and her only hope of survival is to destroy Fitzgerald. Meanwhile, an international crisis looms when a ruthless Russian president is determined to force a military confrontation between the Russia and the U.S. From urgent meetings in the Oval Officer to a Russian mafya boss's luxurious hideaway outside St. Petersburg, "The Eleventh Commandment" is a gripping read.
