Publisher Description
Michael Havelock’s world died on a moonlit beach on the Costa Brava as he watched his partner and lover, double agent Jenna Karas, efficiently gunned down by his own agency. There’s nothing left for him but to quit the game, get out. Then, in one frantic moment on a crowded railroad platform in Rome, Havelock sees Jenna. Racing around the globe in search of his beautiful betrayer, Havelock is now marked for death by both U.S. and Russian assassins, trapped in a massive mosaic of treachery created by a top-level mole with the world in his fist: Parsifal.

"My very very very very favorite Ludlum book. I read these over and over again in high school and college, raiding my parents' library. I eventually had to start buying my own copies. This is definitely my favorite."

" The usual overdone work of Ludlum. An overly complex tale that makes you wonder why you ever decided to read it. Fills time, a lot of time, if you need something to read. "
— Jason, 1/6/2014 -
" Robert Ludlum makes me happy because he's just fun to read. Alot of violence and possibly swearing. Can't remember for sure on that. Government conspiracy type with bombs and gun and such. What more could you want? "
— Amy, 1/5/2014 -
" Another exciting thriller from Ludlum! One of the two best. Made me think about the possibility of one person to have different kinds of personalities depending on the situation. "
