Synopsis

#1 New York Times bestselling author of American Assassin—now a major motion picture

Vince Flynn’s “high-energy” (Booklist) political thriller places CIA superagent Mitch Rapp in the crosshairs of an enemy even he did not anticipate.

When diplomacy fails and military intervention is inappropriate, our leaders sometimes take the third option.…Mitch Rapp has been assigned just such an “unofficial” task, targeting a German industrialist who is supplying a notorious terror sponsor. But when the mission is dangerously compromised, Rapp realizes he’s been deemed an expendable asset in a power battle on home turf: the choice of Dr. Irene Kennedy as successor to dying CIA director Thomas Stansfield has many detractors, some who will resort to extreme measures to prevent her from taking the reins. But no one counted on Mitch Rapp’s return…or how far he’ll go to find out who set him up.

About this title

Review

"Library Journal" Flynn's latest thriller...is an old-school spy story...updated with heavy helpings of international intrigue and domestic politicking and betrayal....Fans of Ludlum and Clancy will want to check it out.

"Pioneer Press" (St. Paul) Flynn has a knack for jumping from continent to continent, character to character, with just the right proportion of space and action, sort of like old-fashioned Saturday-matinee serial films.

"Booklist" Flynn hits his stride in this thriller about high-end Washington politics...[he] has an exciting, Ludlum-like series going here.

"Amazon.com" This is a strong, swift thriller....Flynn sustains the dramatic tension from the opening paragraph to the last.

"Booklist" Flynn's high-energy prosesgenerates plenty of suspense.
