From the author of Days of Drums and Last Rights comes a new, heartpounding thriller that's destined to be an international bestseller. His name is the Handyman. For fifteen years he's been in hiding, living under an assumed name in Marseille. Now this illusive and deadly asassin is back. Like Lazarus, he is coming back from the dead because the Handyman has a job to do...Young and beautiful Hollis Fremont works for the American Embassy in Paris. When her lover, the charming Paul McGann, one of the most powerful men at the embassy, asks Holly to run a simple diplomatic errand for him to New York, she sees no reason to refuse. But with that small consent starts a sequence of events that threatens the chain of command right up to the President himself, and Holly's own life is the smallest of bargaining chips. The only person who seems on her side is Agent Sam Crawford, member of the mysterious Omega group, that hunts international assassins and answers only to the President. Together they must find a way to frustrate the Handyman in the biggest assignment of his terrible career...
