They were orphans, Chris and Saul - raised in a Philadelphia school for boys, bonded by friendship, and devoted to a mysterious man called Eliot. He visited them and brought them candy. He treated them like sons. He trained them to be assassins. Now he is trying desperately to have them killed.
"Trained as assassins from childhood by Eliot, their foster father, orphan brothers Chris and Saul relentlessly seek revenge when, after years of successful assignments, Eliot betrays them."
"Raised as brothers, two orphans--Saul, a Jew, and Chris, an Irish Catholic--match wits, in a duel to the death, with their foster father, Eliot, a professional assassin."

"Saul i Chris. Agenci CIA o kryptonimach Romulus i Remus. Łączą ich więzy równie silne, jak rodzonych braci: od piątego roku życia wychowywali się razem w specjalnej szkole dla chłopców w Filadelfii, szkoląc się na zawodowych zabójców. Nie mają rodziców, a jedynie przybranego ojca, człowieka, któremu bezgranicznie ufają-- tajemniczego mężczyznę noszącego nazwisko Eliot. Zawsze traktował ich jak własnych synów. A teraz-- z niezrozumiałych powodów-- za wszelką cenę usiłuje ich zabić. Saul zawsze wykonywał wszystkie zlecone mu przez "ojca" zadania. Nie zadawał pytań, niczego nie podawał w wątpliwość. Niemniej ostatni rozkaz-- wysadzenie w powietrze doradcy prezydenta USA oraz kilku arabskich biznesmenów-- budzi jego niepokój. Dlaczego zamach został przeprowadzony w tak spektakularny sposób? By zwrócić uwagę na sprawcę? Jedynie tym można tłumaczyć fakt, iż nagle Saul zostaje uznany za wyjętego spod prawa, że polują na niego agencje wywiadowcze całego świata. Ktoś wydał rozkaz "zlikwidować". Wszystkie nitki prowadzą do Eliota. Saul i Chris, na którego również wydano wyrok, łączą siły, by wyjaśnić tę zagadkę, analizują własne dzieciństwo i młodość. Kim naprawdę jest Eliot-- zaufanym funkcjonariuszem CIA czy podwójnym, a może nawet potrójnym agentem obcych sił, organizatorem spisku o globalnym zasięgu? Czy "bracia" byli tylko bezwolnym narzędziem w jego rękach?"
"Een geheim agent wordt door zijn eigen mensen achtervolgd en gaat op zoek naar het waarom."

Spanning the globe, here is an astonishing novel of fierce loyalty and violent betrayal, of murders planned and coolly executed, of revenge bitterly, urgently desired"--Publisher description."@en
