The Odessa Assassin

In New York’s Grand Central Terminal, an assassin takes position above the concourse as the President of the United States prepares to deliver a public criticism of Israel. The presidential security operation has been compromised, giving the gunman a clear opportunity to fire and allowing Odessa to place its wider political plan within reach.

A specialist team races to identify the threat before one bullet can alter the government of the United States. When the assassin pulls the trigger, an unexpected event overturns the assumptions of both the attackers and those trying to stop them. This third Odessa novel, written by Frederick Forsyth and Tony Kent, is a forthcoming contemporary political thriller; the description is therefore limited to the publisher’s prepublication account and does not invent historical associations or unreleased plot detail.
