Child's Play (Destroyer Series #23)

by Warren Murphy, Richard Sapir

Overview

The government�s Witness Protection Program has been compromised�cooperative criminals who thought a new name would keep them safe are suddenly turning up dead. That serves as a serious disincentive to those considering a career-move into stoolpigeonry. While the Army points fingers, Remo tries to protect himself from a team of killer kids. Who is training them? And why can�t Remo use his Sinanju skills against them?

Remo Williams is The Destroyer, a seemingly unremarkable beat cop recruited�through highly unorthodox methods�by a secret government law-enforcement organization. Trained to become the most deadly assassin, Remo is America's last line of defense against mad scientists, organized crime, ancient undead gods, and anything else that threatens the Constitution. An action-adventure series leavened with social and political satire, the Destroyer novels have been thrilling readers worldwide for decades.
