An odyssey through the art, theory, and brutality of modern political murder by Robert Baer, New York Times-bestselling author, former CIA operative, and, yes, assassin

All four of Robert B. Baer's previous books were New York Times bestsellers, and it's no wonder. A recipient of the Career Intelligence Medal, Baer served as a CIA operative for decades, and his career was the model for the acclaimed movie Syriana. Now, Baer draws on his extensive firsthand experience-including a decades-long cat-and-mouse hunt for the greatest assassin of the modern age-to examine the serpentine history of political murder. Offering a tantalizing glimpse at the underbelly of world politics, The Perfect Kill will be avidly read by thriller fans and military history buffs alike.
