| When a Libyan teenager's family are killed by US airstrikes he comes back for revenge no longer a teenager but as a terrorist and tries to assassinate Ronald Reagan; but cop and anti-hero John Corey trying to prevent this disaster is always one step behind until the very end. A superb read until a disappointing end. | ||
