Radiant Angel

by Nelson DeMille Narrated by Scott Brick

Overview

"A soft breeze fluttered the white, blue, and red Russian flag in front of the U.N. mission. I remember when the Soviet hammer and sickle flew there. I kind of miss the Cold War. But I think it's back."

RADIANT ANGEL

After a showdown with the notorious Yemeni terrorist known as The Panther, John Corey has left the Anti-Terrorist Task Force and returned home to New York City, taking a job with the Diplomatic Surveillance Group. Although Corey's new assignment with the DSG-surveilling Russian diplomats working at the U.N. Mission-is thought to be "a quiet end," he is more than happy to be out from under the thumb of the FBI and free from the bureaucracy of office life.

But Corey realizes something the U.S. government doesn't: The all-too-real threat of a newly resurgent Russia.

When Vasily Petrov, a colonel in the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service posing as a diplomat with the Russian U.N. Mission, mysteriously disappears from a Russian oligarch's party in Southampton, it's up to Corey to track him down. What are the Russians up to and why? Is there a possible nuclear threat, a so-called radiant angel? Will Corey find Petrov and put a stop to whatever he has planned before it's too late? Or will Corey finally be outrun and outsmarted, with America facing the prospect of a crippling attack unlike anything it's ever seen before?

Prescient and chilling. DeMille's new novel takes us into the heart of a new Cold War with a clock-ticking plot that has Manhattan in its crosshairs.


Please note: Radiant Angel is published in the UK under the title A Quiet End.

Editorial Reviews

AudioFile

Nelson DeMille and Scott Brick continue to collaborate in bringing the author’s tough, wisecracking former New York City cop, John Corey, to life…DeMille is one of the masters of the contemporary thriller, and Brick is one of the great audiobook narrators. Their collaboration is as professional and riveting as one would expect. Seven hours of listening go by very fast…It’s a great ride.”

Associated Press

DeMille writes compelling thrillers, and John Corey is a great protagonist. His skill set and cocky attitude make him an all-around nice guy that any reader would want to meet. [Radiant Angel] gets extremely violent and gory in parts…[but] DeMille uses the graphic nature of various deaths to showcase Corey as something more than a simple cop with a sarcastic streak.”
