Even

David Trevellyan takes a lonely late-night walk between a restaurant and his New York City hotel. A familiar huddled shape in the mouth of an alley catches his eye. A homeless man has been shot dead. As David steps forward, a police car arrives. And a second too late he realizes he`s been set up. Trevellyan isn`t worried. He`s a survivor from the shadowy world of Royal Navy Intelligence. He`s been in and out of trouble a thousand times before. But when the police hand the case to the FBI, he`s sucked deeper into the system. With no idea who is friend and who is foe, he penetrates deep into a huge international conspiracy, which spans from war-torn Iraq to the very heart of the USA. He knows that the price of failure will be death, but the reward for success will be redemption -- for himself as well as for the huddled corpse from the alley. His motivation is his cherished life-long belief: you don`t get mad -- you get EVEN. `Brilliantly plotted and smart, and delivers the bone-jarring kick of a .45` Jeffery Deaver
