Finished We 8/7/19
This is a paperback that Janny loaned to me.
Will Robie and Jessica Reel are sophisticated, elite members of the American intelligence service. They are both experts in assassination and all forms of 'wet work'.
Reel seems to have gone rogue, but it seems that she has uncovered a secret program within the services called 'The Apocalypse Report'. This is a program designed to take out all heads of important nations except for the US. This will introduce chaos and America can step in and regain its' unilateral power.
Reel kills a few members of the intelligence community. She is convinced that they are part of the evil program, but her bosses view it as proof that she has gone over to the dark side.
Robie is assigned to take out Reel. Then he learns of the secret agenda and comes to believe that Jessica is not a traitor, but a patriot.
Female investigator Vance is a friend of Robie's and helps him and Reel.
The meeting where all world leaders assemble is in Switzerland. Reel and Robie learn that this is not where 'the hit' will occur. It's actually at a Canadian meeting. Reel and Robie fly to Canada and shut down the program before the leaders are harmed. Vance alerts the FBI to prevent the attack. This was a meeting of Middle Eastern leaders and would cause total world-wide chaos.
Romance between Reel and Robie is implied at the end of the novel.
Maybe a bit hard to believe, yet the the story-line is compelling and the book is hard to put down. A very good 'Beach' or 'Airport' read.
