A death at a funfair - and Bourne must face his nemesis... The third Jason Bourne novel from the internationally bestselling author
It all starts with a cat-and-mouse chase to the death in a Baltimore funfair: the Jackal, Bourne's age-old antagonist, is back and Bourne is forced from his idyllic retirement with his wife and children to confront his enemy. In Europe, Russia and America there are men and women whose lust for power is disguised by their positions and respectability.
The man has been shot many times. Who wants to kill him, and why? The man can't remember. As he begins to learn about his past, he becomes even more confused. Does he have a future? Or will he be killed before he knows who - or what - he really is?
After Jason Bourne is ambushed and nearly killed while in Indonesia, he fakes his death to take on a new identity and mission-to find out who is trying to assassinate him. In the process, Bourne begins to question who he really is and what he would become if he no longer carried the Bourne identity. Across the globe, an American passenger airliner is shot down over Egypt -- apparently by an Iranian missile -- leaving the world wondering if it was an accident or an act of aggression.
