King's Curse

Description

A stone idol is defaced while on display in a national museum. A congressman, a socialite, and others are found with their hearts cut out, sacrificed to a god whose secret name can summon storms. A king of the vanished Actatl people has been found, and he's determined to avenge his lost civilization. There's a bloody trail for Remo and Chiun to follow, but that's the biz, sweetheart. Unchecked, the worldwide network of the Actatl could destroy all that CURE has worked for. ABOUT THE SERIES: Sentenced to death for a crime he didn't commit, ex-cop Remo Williams is rescued from the electric chair and recruited by a secret government organization as an assassin, targeting criminals who are beyond the law. Remo's trainer is a curmudgeonly old Korean named Chiun, whose mastery of the terrifyingly powerful martial art of Sinanju makes him the deadliest man alive. The winning combination of action, humor, and mysticism has made the Destroyer one of the best-selling series of all time. With more than 150 books and over 50 million copies sold worldwide, the Destroyer has been praised by the LA Times as "flights of hilarious satire," and gave birth to the mythology of the brash young Westerner taught by an ancient, inscrutable master.
