"A James Ryker thriller" -- Cover.

Carl Logan dedicated nearly twenty years of his life to the Joint Intelligence Agency. Now living in a secret location, under the new identify of James Ryker, he wants nothing more than to be left alone, the chance to start a new life away from chaos, violence, destruction and deceit. Itś not long, however, before Rykerś short-lived idyll is destroyed when he is tracked down by Peter Winter, his ex-boss at the JIA. Winter brings with him news of the murder of a woman in Spain, Kim Walker, whose fingerprints match those of one of Rykerś former adversaries whoś been missing presumed dead for years - an infamous female assassin known as the Red Cobra. A cyberattack at the JIA led to the Red Cobraś profile being compromised, and Winter believes JIA agents may now be at risk too, Ryker included. But Ryker knew the elusive Red Cobra better than anyone, and when he sees the grisly pictures of Kim Walkerś corpse, he has news for Winter - she isn't the assassin at all ... So just who is the mystery dead woman? And where is the real Red Cobra?
