      15 avril 1986 : les États-Unis lancent un raid contre une base militaire libyenne. Parmi les rares survivants, Asad Khalil, protégé du colonel Kadhafi... Depuis, celui qu'on appelle le Lion n'a plus qu'un objectif : exécuter l'implacable vengeance d'Allah en éliminant tour à tour les huit hommes qui ont pris part à ce bombardement, et celui qui en a donné l'ordre : l'ancien président de la première puissance mondiale. Le Lion ne tarde pas à mettre les États-Unis à feu et à sang. Face à lui, un ex-flic de la criminelle, fort en gueule et tête brûlée : John Corey, de la force antiterroriste. Même dans les bas-fonds de New York, qu'il a écumés pendant des années, Corey n'a jamais rencontré une telle violence, une telle sauvagerie. Pour terrasser le Lion, il va devoir inventer une stratégie très personnelle qui n'est guère du goût des têtes pensantes du FBI et de la CIA... Traduit dans 20 pays, La Vengeance du Lion a été n° 1 pendant 15 semaines sur les listes de best-sellers du New York Times et de Publishers Weekly.

Welcome to the Custer Hill Club--an informal men's club set in a luxurious Adirondack hunting lodge whose members include some of America's most powerful business leaders, military men, and government officials. Ostensibly, the club is a place to gather with old friends, hunt, eat, drink, and talk off-the-record about war, life, death, sex and politics. But one Fall weekend, the Executive Board of the Custer Hill Club gathers to talk about the tragedy of 9/11 and what America must do to retaliate. Their plan is finalized and set into motion. That same weekend, a member of the Federal Anti-Terrorist Task Force is reported missing. His body is soon discovered in the woods near the Custer Hill Club's game reserve. The death appears to be a hunting accident, and that's how the local police first report it, but Detective John Corey has his doubts. As he digs deeper, he begins to unravel a plot involving the Custer Hill Club, a top-secret plan known only by its code name: Wild Fire. Racing against the clock, Detective Corey and his wife, FBI agent Kate Mayfield, find they are the only people in a position to stop the button from being pushed and chaos from being unleashed.

After a showdown with the notorious Yemeni terrorist known as The Panther, John Corey has left the Anti-Terrorist Task Force and returned home to New York City, taking a job with the Diplomatic Surveillance Group. Although Corey's new assignment with the DSG-surveilling Russian diplomats working at the U.N.

When Vasily Petrov, a colonel in the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service posing as a diplomat with the Russian U.N.

    • Dem grausamen und eiskalt planenden arabischen Terroristenführer Ahmed Rish gelingt es durch einen üblen Trick, zwei Concordes der israelischen Fluglinie El-Al mit einer israelisch-arabischen Friedensdelegation auf dem Weg nach New York in seine Gewalt zu bekommen. Sie landen auf den verwehten Schutthügeln von Babylon. Dort entbrennt ein mörderischer Kampf der bis zum Äußersten um ihr Leben kämpfenden Israelis und den fanatischen arabischen Terroristen. Auf dem Höhepunkt der "Schlacht an den Wassern von Babylon" kommt es dann zur alles entscheidenden persönlichen Auseinandersetzung zwischen Jacob Hausner, dem Chef des Sicherheitsdienstes von El-Al und dem vor Haß beinahe verrückten Terroristenführer Ahmed Rish...
