Facing down mercenaries in Africa, Jason Bourne witnesses the
death of an art dealer named Tracy Atherton. Her killing dredges up
snatches of Bourne''s impaired memory, in particular the murder of a
young woman on Bali who entrusted him with a strangely engraved
ring??-an artifact of such powerful significance that people have
killed to obtain it. Now he''s determined to find the ring''s owner
and purpose. But Bourne never knows what terrible acts he''ll
discover he committed when he digs into the past.
The trail will lead him through layers of conspiracy to a vicious
Russian mercenary, Leonid Arkadin, who was also a graduate of the
Central Intelligence training program Treadstone. A covert course
designed to create ruthless assassins for C.I., it was shuttered by
Congress for corruption. Yet before it was dismantled, it produced
Bourne and Arkadin, giving them equal skills, equal force, and
equal cunning.
As Bourne''s destiny circles closer to Arkadin''s, it becomes clear
that the eventual collision of these men is not of their own
making. Someone else has been watching and manipulating them.
Someone who wants to know, Who is the more deadly agent?
