Who is Nelson DeMille?

There are many action-adventure and thriller novels written by Nelson DeMille, an American author who was born at the end of the 1970s. His first book came out at that time. It's been a long time since he wrote a lot of books. Some of them were written under the pen names Jack Cannon or Kurt Ladner or Ellen Kay or Brad Matthews.

There are many series that DeMille is known for, but also many stand-alone books, like Spencerville or The Cuban Affair or The Quest. Three of his books have been made into TV shows or movies: The General's Daughter, Word of Honor, and Mayday.

The killer and the cop are going to meet face to face, and they're going to fight for their lives one last time.
