aardvark (USA: IL) (2008/01/11):
They call Paul Ryker the Connector, for that is what he is. From the safety of a luxury villa in Algiers, he surveys the world of crime and manipulates its pawns with ruthless detachment. He brings together the expert criminals of a half dozen countries and sends them into battle in brilliantly planned operations. Now, for his new and most daring maneuver, he joins forces with Europe's most feared revolutionary organization--the Baader-Meinhof Group, specialists in urban anarchy and political terrorism.Into this world he lures Suzanne Delar, a paradox of childlike innocence and womanly sensuality, an easy mark for Ryker's perversity. Lee Corey, ex-convict and double agent, plays a deadly game in a bid to force the Connector into the open. An agent of C-2, the international arm of the FBI, Corey infiltrates Ryker's organization. His mission: to learn where and how the biggest maneuver of Ryker's career is to come off, and to involve the Connector himself. Is the trap complete? Or will the hunter be snared? Will Corey's involvement with Suzanne Delar create a showdown with Ryker that could destroy Corey's value to C-2 and allow Ryker to continue pulling the strings of world-wide crime? The plot is alarmingly credible, the violence timely: a diamond theft ending in a bloody chase, a jailbreak that becomes a massacre, a double hijacking in an airport--with the Connector behind every brutal move. His prize, if Corey doesn't stop him--the largest shipment of gold ever to leave Europe for New York.
