Only two rival spies - and one mysterious woman - can stop them. Brandon Scofield, CIA, and the West's most professional assassin, and Vasili Taleniekov, former KGB, now wanted by the Politburo. They share a genius for espionage - and a life of terror and explosive violence.

Sworn enemies, Scofield and Taleniekov have vowed to terminate each other, but now they must become allies. Because only they possess the brutal skills and ice-cold nerves vital to destroy an international circle of killers: the Matarese...

I actually exchanged this book due to the poor sound quality of the narration. It’s hard to believe that Audible allows this poor quality on an otherwise fantastic platform.

The book may be good, but it is the worst audio I have ever listened to, it sounds if it was recorded in a cave speaking behind a covid mask. This makes it almost impossible to follow the storyline.
