Summary
The next morning, nine bodies are discovered in one of
Paris’s finest hotels—among them the Libyan oil
minister. Back in Washington the finger-pointing begins in
earnest as no one wants any part in what has become an
international crisis and potential embarrassment for the CIA.
Rapp’s handlers have only one choice—deny any
responsibility for the incident and pray that their newest
secret weapon stays that way. Rapp must avoid capture or die quietly. One person in the
group, however, is not prone to leaving such important things
to chance. Rapp has become a liability, and Stan Hurley will
not allow Rapp to be taken alive by the French authorities,
even if it means killing him. Operating on his own and
outside the control of his handlers, it will soon become
clear that nothing is more dangerous than a wounded and
cornered Mitch Rapp. In Flynn’s newest page-turner, the stakes are higher
than they’ve ever been as Mitch Rapp embarks on the
journey that will turn him into America’s most deadly
asset. The nonstop action in this shockingly realistic
political thriller will keep your pulse pounding till the
very end. “The voice of today’s postmodern thriller
generation, Flynn has never been better.” --
Providence Journal
“There’s a reason [Vince Flynn] is No. 1 on
the bestseller list." --The New York Post
“Flynn is a master -- maybe
the master -- of writing thriller novels in which
the pages seem to turn themselves.”

In the year
since the CIA trained and then unleashed him, Mitch Rapp
has been steadily working his way through a list of men,
bullet by bullet. With each swift and untraceable kill, the
tangled network of monsters responsible for the slaughter
of 270 civilians in the Pan Am Lockerbie attack become
increasingly aware that someone is hunting them. Rapp is
given his next target, and finds the man asleep in his bed
in Paris. In the split second it takes the bullet to leave
Rapp’s silenced pistol, the trap is sprung and he
finds himself in the fight of his life.
