Description

The Assassination Option is the latest in the Clandestine Operations crime series (Jove) by W.E.B. Griffin, following Captain James Cronley as he navigates the dangerous and deadly world of international intrigue after World War II. James Cronley's first successful mission for the new Central Intelligence Directorate has drawn all kinds of attention, including that from the Soviets, his own Pentagon and a seething J. Edgar Hoover. Cronley knows that if just one thing goes wrong, he's likely to get thrown to the wolves. And he thinks he hears them howling now.

Reviews

A Griffin adventure to bring out the Walter Mitty in every red-white-and-blue-blooded American male. --Kirkus Reviews

EngagingIts a testament to the authors skill and wide experience that the pages seem to turn themselves. --Publishers Weekly

The makings of an excellent series. The period between WWII and the Cold War offers raw material for several books, and as fans of Griffins body of work are well aware, he really sinks his teeth into politics and history. --Booklist
