John Corey thought he had seen the last of Asad Khalil. The former NYPD detective turned Anti-Terrorist Task Force agent watched the Libyan terrorist vanish after a deadly cross-country rampage that left bodies scattered across America. Khalil had posed as a defector, then unleashed unprecedented carnage on American soil before disappearing without a trace. Now, years later, the man known as "The Lion" has returned to finish what he started. Khalil moves through the country like a predator with a list, methodically hunting down targets from his past. Corey partners again with FBI agent Kate Mayfield to track the killer, but Khalil stays one step ahead. The terrorist has unfinished business, and Corey knows he represents both the hunt and the hunted. This time, Corey has made his own vow. He will find Khalil, and he will kill him.
