Synopsis: The world's two deadliest spies in the ultimate showdown.
At a small-town carnival two men, each mysteriously summoned by
telegram, witness a bizarre killing. The telegrams are signed Jason
Bourne. Only they know Bourne's true identity and understand the
telegram is really a message from Bourne's mortal enemy, Carlos, known
also as the Jackal, the world's deadliest and most elusive terrorist.
And furthermore, they know that the Jackal wants: a final confrontation
with Bourne.
Now David Webb, professor of Oriental studies, husband, and father,
must do what he hoped he would never have to do again—assume the
terrible identity of Jason Bourne. His plan is simple: to infiltrate
the politically and economically Medusan group and use himself as bait
to lure the cunning Jackal into a deadly trap—a trap from which
only one of them will escape.
Note: 3rd in a trilogy of thrillers by Ludlum to feature spy Jason
Bourne. The series is being continued by Eric Van Lustbader with
permission from the estate of Robert Ludlum.
