First edition/out of print/collectible/signed by author. ———— Publisher’s description, pre-recall: An elite spy risks his biggest asset to defeat an insidious international organization hell-bent on selling the most sensitive state secrets to the highest bidder. Jonathan Chase, the CIA's top field agent, is sworn to protect and serve the United States at all costs. But after a brutal period of captivity during the Korean War, Chase developed an agenda of his own: to use his mastery of war to create peace. His new target: the Zero Directorate, a cabal of rogue assassins who have embarked on a campaign to systematically interrogate and kill seasoned secret agents from across the globe. But the Directorate has set an elaborate trap, and for Chase the whole mission involves an inescapable paradox. As the world's preeminent operative, the closer he gets to the cabal, the closer the cabal gets to their primary target. ———— Title: Assassin of Secrets Publisher: Little Brown & Company Publication Date: 2011 Binding: Soft cover Condition: Like New Edition: 1st Edition, Signed by author ———— Same-day shipping on most orders received by noon.
