Because now Jeremy Archer has a double: another thief with skills and abilities eerily similar to Jeremy's own. When this mysterious double falls afoul of Simon and his team, Simon asks for Jeremy's help, because who better to catch Jeremy Archer than... Jeremy Archer?

For Jeremy Archer, it all starts with a simple phone call from halfway around the world. For Simon Drake, it all started three years ago... Now a madman from Simon's past is on the loose, claiming his revenge on Simon and his team, one member at a time... and no one who stands in his way is safe. No one. Not even Jeremy Archer.

On the other side of the world, two steps ahead of a ruthless, implacable foe accidentally set on his trail by Simon, Jeremy Archer is running for his life.. moreA fellow FBI agent with an old grudge picks Simon as the instrument of his revenge.
