Circle of Death synopsis:
In this action-packed story from the world’s #1 bestselling author, a ruthless killer is seeking to overturn the world order—and our only hope is vigilante justice.
Since Lamont Cranston—known to a select few as the Shadow—defeated Shiwan Khan and ended his reign of terror over New York one year ago, the city has started to regenerate. But there is evil brewing elsewhere. And this time the entire world is under threat. Which is why Lamont has scoured the globe to assemble a team with unmatched talent.
Only their combined powers can foil an enemy with ambitions and abilities beyond anyone’s deepest fears. As their mission takes them across the globe and into the highest corridors of power—pushing them beyond their limits—can justice prevail?
The President’s Shadow synopsis:
One of America’s most iconic heroes recruits his lasting love, Margo Lane, and his great-great-granddaughter, Maddy Gomes, to join an international investigation in this thriller from the world’s #1 bestselling author, James Patterson.
For over 150 years, Lamont Cranston and his alter ego, The Shadow, have possessed an array of mental and physical powers: scientific skills, shape-shifting abilities, and mind control. When a series of deadly natural disasters strike the planet, The Shadow immediately sets out to identify who’s responsible. Is it …
A disgruntled graduate student?
The power-hungry president of the Americas?
Or could it be Shiwan Khan, the Shadow’s fiercest enemy?
The Shadow’s latest adventure is also his, Maddy’s, and Margo’s most dangerous. Triumph or perish, they’ll rise or fall … together.
I haven’t read this series yet, but I think I will aim to read it next year. I like how the first two covers match and give the same vibe… book 3 looks out of place. Let’s hope that’s not the case for the series!
