The Panther

Description

The Panther by Nelson DeMille is the sixth explosive installment in the bestselling John Corey series — a tense, high-stakes political thriller that dives deep into the dangerous world of international terrorism and American intelligence.

This time, John Corey, a former NYPD detective now working with the FBI’s Anti-Terrorist Task Force, is sent to the lawless lands of Yemen, one of the most volatile regions in the Middle East. Alongside his wife and fellow agent, Kate Mayfield, Corey is tasked with hunting down a brutal and elusive terrorist known only as The Panther — a mastermind believed to be connected to the real-life bombing of the USS Cole.

But the mission is anything but straightforward. As John and Kate navigate the shadowy terrain of tribal alliances, militant strongholds, and unreliable local officials, they begin to suspect that the U.S. government may have ulterior motives. Is this mission truly about justice — or are they being used as bait?

With Corey’s trademark sarcasm, sharp instincts, and refusal to play by the rules, he digs deeper into a world of espionage, betrayal, and calculated violence, where the enemy is always watching, and trust is a luxury no one can afford.

Set against a backdrop of real-world geopolitical tension, The Panther delivers an action-packed, thought-provoking narrative filled with smart dialogue, gritty realism, and page-turning suspense. Nelson DeMille blends fiction with frightening plausibility, making this novel a chilling look at the complexities of global terrorism and the personal cost of those who fight it.
