Set against the steamy background of Hong Kong, China and the West, this is the second of three novels about Jason Bourne, hero extraordinaire, and a man who leaves no stone unturned.
Kowloon: in a smoky cabaret a murder is committed. In his own blood the taipan writes eleven letters – and Jason Bourne announces his return. The assassin is back in Asia.
But who is Jason Bourne now? The quiet professor trying to forget past heartbreak? Or the most proficient master of the killing arts the world has ever known?
