In 2001, after recovering from being shot in Venice, Milo Weaver decides leave the hunt for the Most-Famous-Muslim-of-All-Times to others and instead concentrate on the arms of terrorism. A terrorist attack, by definition, is brutal and bloody. But when someone like Bin Laden or al-Zarqawi need to eliminate a specific individual, they, like the rest of the world, turn to a professional. In the world of hired assassins, few have the reputation of--or are hunted as--the Tiger. Fascinated by Steinhauer's novel, George Clooney will soon play Milo Weaver.
