The Bourne betrayal by Robert Ludlum

I have always liked Robert Ludlum and I was not let down by this book either.

THE BOURNE BETRAYAL begins where THE BOURNE LEGACY ends, and it would behoove readers to have at least a passing familiarity with the previous novel before attempting to dive into this new work.

Bourne, still reeling from personal losses, attempts a radical new course of therapy to regain his memory and excise the mysterious flashbacks he is experiencing. While he is undergoing treatment, Martin Lindros, Bourne’s Central Intelligence handler and his only friend, goes missing while on a mission in which the fate of the country hangs in the balance. CI reluctantly recruits Bourne to find Lindros, a task he jumps into even while insisting that it be done his way.

The Bancroft strategy by Robert Ludlum

If you are a fan of Robert Ludlum then you will not be dissapointed with this book. I certainly was not. Managed to read most of it by going in to work early and stopping off for a long coffee and a read at Schuman's.
I am curious though how this ghost writter is able to write under Roberts name for so long.
When Todd Belknap - a field agent for Consular Operations with a reputation as something of a cowboy - is cut loose from the agency after an operation goes wrong, his best friend and fellow agent is abducted in Lebanon by a vicious militia group. When the government refuses to help, Belknap decides to take matters into his own hands. Meanwhile, hedge fund analyst Andrea Newton gets an unexpected call - she has been left six million dollars by a cousin she's never met. But there's one condition: she must agree to sit on the board of the Newton foundation, a charitable organization run by the family patriarch, Paul Newton. Having never even met the family - her mother was married only briefly and cut all contact many years ago - Andrea is intrigued. But the foundation, supposedly dedicated to doing good deeds, appears less and less benign the more deeply involved she gets... What exactly is their involvement with the 'Genesis' - a mysterious group working to destabilize the geopolitical balance at the risk of millions of lives? As events escalate, Todd and Andrea must form an uneasy alliance if they are to uncover the truth behind 'Genesis' - before it's too late.
