Description

To the assassin, his trademark three gunshots in the face of his victim means just another killing: a million dollars in the bank. To the President of the United States they mean revenge. To the arms manufacturer they mean salvation. To a secret group of wealthy world capitalists they mean success. But to the man from the CIA they are the mark of the assassin. For he has seen these marks before, when the woman he loved years before was one of the assassin's victims.

The story begins with the explosion of an American airliner with 300 passengers aboard- and ends with a chase across three continents, in the battle between the assassin and the only man who knows his true identity...
