The blockbuster new novel from the master storyteller Frederick Forsyth, bestselling author of The Day of the Jackal, now a hit TV series.

One bullet is all it takes...

The stranger stands in the rafters of New York’s Grand Central Station, his rifle ahead of him. The President’s security team are compromised, rendering the President vulnerable just as he is due to deliver a very public criticism of Israel.

If his bullet meets its target, Odessa - a menacing and powerful Nazi group - will take control of the White House. If he fails, everything he's worked for will be lost.

A team of specialist operatives race to stop the attack, and the nation inches closer to catastrophe. As the assassin pulls the trigger, something inexplicable happens. Something that turns this deadly game of cat and mouse on its head...

Praise for The Odessa Assassin

Praise for Frederick Forsyth

-

As an impeccably paced thriller and as a window into modern geopolitics, it will make your hair stand on end.

Telegraph

Captures a real flavour of the groundbreaking original.

Sun

Cracking…like Forsyth’s best works, Revenge of Odessa, both entertains and unsettles.

Financial Times

Displays all of Forsyth's political prescience and reminds us how clever he was at forecasting our dangerous future.
