Part II: November, Chapters 30-35 Summary

Delaroche and Astrid are in Cairo, preparing for the assassination of Eric Stoltenberg. They have studied his routine, and Astrid makes contact at his favorite night club and introduces herself as tourist Eva Tebbe. Eventually, they leave together, followed by Delaroche on a stolen motorcycle. Unfortunately, Stoltenberg knows Astrid's true identity and has his driver take them to the desert, as he attempts to discover who hired her. When the driver gets out of the car, he is immediately murdered by Delaroche, who then enters the car and kills Stoltenberg. Back at their hotel, Astrid is ready to quit, having faced the possibility of her own death. Delaroche promises her that, once the contracts are completed, they will retire together in the Caribbean.

By Chapter 31, Michael is also in Cairo, following the trail of Stoltenberg...
