Publisher Description
New York Times bestselling author Nelson DeMille returns with another heart-pounding John Corey thriller—this time including Corey’s FBI agent wife Kate Mayfield… and their mission is to catch an elusive terrorist mastermind before he catches them.
Anti-Terrorist Task Force agent John Corey and his wife, FBI agent Kate Mayfield, have been posted overseas to Sana'a, Yemen-one of the most dangerous places in the Middle East. While there, 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 U.S. government is determined to bring him down, no matter the cost. 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.
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.

"Nelson Demille has written 2 novels that rank in my top ten of all time.."The Lions Game" & "The Gold Coast". I buy everything he writes and he has yet to disappoint me. "The Panther" is the 6th book that includes NYPD (now FBI) detective John Corey.I just love this wise ass, take no prisoner's approach, what you see is what you get character. Many times I found myself howling at his quick wit. Demille's impeccable research is on display with his knowledge of the U.S. spy game and he actually gives you a full history lesson on Yemen.( the stage where this story takes place)Prior I knew nothing about Yemen other than it was in the Middle East. I found this very interesting. Also introduced is the likable character "Paul Bennett" from "The General's Daughter" and "Up Country".Overall Demille is a master of the thriller and in "The Panther" he has another top notch winner."
