Synopsis

A new thriller by the New York Times bestselling author of The Da Vinci Legacy

No fear. No conscience. No mistakes.

For over seventy years, Project Enduring Valor has sought the Holy Grail of combat medicine: a drug that would turn ordinary soldiers into ruthlessly efficient killers. Now, after decades of secret trial and error, Enduring Valor is ready to be implemented on a massive scale--despite devastating side-effects.
Neurosurgeon Bradford Stone is being hunted by the Project’s director, a retired war hero turned presidential candidate. To get back his life and expose the truth, Stone must penetrate the very heart of the conspiracy before a sociopathic “killing machine” permanently damaged by the drug becomes President of the United States.

Perfect Killer is an engrossing and original thriller that probes the very nature of the human mind.
