The Bourne Revenge

The identity of a deadly Chinese spy lies hidden in Jason Bourne’s lost memory in this latest entry in the #1 New York Times bestselling series.
Shadow – the head of Treadstone – has found evidence of massive Chinese espionage activity in the U.S. The spy running the operations is a shadowy American known only by the codename Bai Ze. No one knows who he is, but when Shadow consults the Files – the hacked AI database she stole from the Chinese – she discovers that Jason Bourne encountered Bai Ze during an operation eight years earlier.
The trouble is, Bourne doesn’t remember him.
As Bourne hunts for the elusive spy, he meets a reporter named Laney Reese who shares his strange affliction: eight years ago, Laney lost her entire memory, too. For Bourne, that can’t be a coincidence. He’s convinced that whatever happened to both of them is at the heart of the Chinese espionage operation.
With Laney at his side, Bourne follows a zigzagging trail of clues to a quirky billionaire and his ex-wife, both of whom may have ties to Bai Ze. As he gets closer to his shadowy adversary, Bourne begins to suspect that he’s walking into a trap. But it’s a trap with an almost irresistible bait – the chance to recover his forgotten memories.
Now Bourne must decide how far he’ll go to get his life back.

The moderator:

J. Rieger & Co wass relaunched by Andy Rieger, the great-great-great grandson of Jacob Rieger, and renowned bartender, Ryan Maybee, to honor the country’s pre-Prohibition legacy with new vision. It’s the beginning of a new golden era in spirits. After touring the Rieger distillery in 2024 with Andy Rieger, Brian Freeman felt the Rieger brand and building were destined for his next Bourne novel. With two chapters focused on a scene in Kansas City at Rieger, Jason Bourne is officially a Kansas City, Rieger, and Rainy Day Books fan.
