Year of the Rabbit

Más información sobre el libro

"A million dollar bounty. A thousand operatives dying to collect. One hunted man, with a score to settle. New York City: Legendary interrogator Malcolm Chaucer is known as The Oracle. There is no subject he cannot break, no secret he cannot unlock. The key to his uncanny ability: eight years as the victim of experimental torture at the hands of a North Korean madman. Chaucer is a broken man, with a unique psychology that makes him both incapable of lying, and a near perfect lie detector. A routine interrogation of a witness to the muder of a Korean national leads to an explosive revelation: the assassin was none other than Tempest MacLaren, Chaucer's ex-wife. A frantic, last minute warning is all he can give her before a North Korean assassin shows up on her doorstep. And later that night, two more assassins target Chaucer for death. Chaucer discovers his drops compromised, his handler dead, and a million-dollar bounty on his head. Can he survive long enough to find his ex-wife and use his unique abilities to tell friend from foe, and truth from lies. And will he uncover the secret that is the Year of the Rabbit? Year of the Rabbit combines the man-on-the-run paranoia of Six Days of the Condor, the colorful characters of Mick Herron's Slough House series, and the raw fun of Lee Child's Jack Reacher series" --
