Inhaltsangabe

Someone has taken a special interest in the Brewster Forum think tank. Compromising photos have been taken. Their security officer is dead under suspicious circumstances. Information about its members is being traded in shadowy places by shadowy figures. This wouldn't normally be a job for America's most deniable covert agency, but the Forum has recently devised what they call a "simple little plan to conquer the world." That makes it a national security matter of the greatest delicacy, which makes it a job for Remo Williams.


ABOUT THE SERIES: Sentenced to death for a crime he didn't commit, ex-cop Remo Williams is rescued from the electric chair and recruited by a secret government organization as an assassin, targeting criminals who are beyond the law. Remo's trainer is a curmudgeonly old Korean named Chiun, whose mastery of the terrifyingly powerful martial art of Sinanju makes him the deadliest man alive.

The winning combination of action, humor, and mysticism has made the Destroyer one of the best-selling series of all time. With more than 150 books and over 50 million copies sold worldwide, the Destroyer has been praised by the LA Times as "flights of hilarious satire," and gave birth to the mythology of the brash young Westerner taught by an ancient, inscrutable master.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

WARREN MURPHY (1933 – 2015) was born in Jersey City, where he worked in journalism and politics until launching the Destroyer series with Richard Sapir in 1971. A screenwriter (Lethal Weapon II, The Eiger Sanction) as well as a novelist, Murphy’s work won a dozen national awards, including multiple Edgars and Shamuses. He was a lecturer at many colleges and universities; lessons on writing are available at his website, WarrenMurphy.com. A Korean War veteran, some of Murphy’s many hobbies included golf, mathematics, opera, and investing. He served on the board of the Mystery Writers of America, and was a member of the Screenwriters Guild, the Private Eye Writers of America, the International Association of Crime Writers, and the American Crime Writers League. He has five children: Deirdre, Megan, Brian, Ardath, and Devin.

RICHARD BEN SAPIR was a New York native who worked as an editor and in public relations before creating The Destroyer series with Warren Murphy. Before his untimely death in 1987, Sapir had also penned a number of thriller and historical mainstream novels, best known of which were The Far Arena, Quest, and The Body, the last of which was made recently into a film. The New York Times book review section called him “a brilliant professional.”
