Publisher Description

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

The fallout from a horrific Washington explosion has just begun—and so has CIA superagent Mitch Rapp’s hunt for a killer with a personal agenda—in this explosive thriller from #1 New York Times bestselling author Vince Flynn.

In the final weeks of a fierce presidential campaign, a motorcade carrying candidate Josh Alexander is shattered by a car bomb. Soon after the attack, Alexander is carried to victory by a sympathy vote, but his assailants have not been found. When CIA director Irene Kennedy and Special Agent Skip McMahon receive damaging intelligence on Washington’s most powerful players, they call on Mitch Rapp—the one man reckless enough to unravel a global network of contract killers on an explosive mission that leads back to the heart of our nation’s capital…and the inner sanctum of the Oval Office.

"A nice break from Flynn's terrorist-chasing routine. This time it's more about domestic intrigue, but still enough exotic locales to keep Flynn's fan's interested. Also (almost) no torture scenes and more character development than usual. My one minor problem is that Mr. Flynn creates Democrat presidents who are WAY too supportive of the CIA and the work they do. It's probably his way of appearing unbiased, considering his clearly right wing inclinations. Not a deal-breaker, but takes away from the realism of his stories just a bit."

    — Copley News Service

    — Roanoke Times
  • “Tom Clancy fans who have not yet discovered bestseller Flynn and his maverick, do-whatever-it-takes hero, CIA operative Mitch Rapp, will find this page-turner right up their alley…Flynn will pull most readers along with his taut writing and plausible vision of the real work of the intelligence community.”

    — Publishers Weekly

    " I was pleased with this novel. Story incorporated sufficient amounts of reality to make it believable. Mitch Rapp was his typical superhero, but did so in a fashion that led me to ponder if it could be true... The narrator provided a very good accent/dialect difference between the various characters so each could be easily identified. He also was very distinct when performing different genders. Overall, I was pleased with this selection. "

    " This was another great read by Vince Flynn. It's amazing how I get mad about characters in the book and want Mitch to do his thing. This book makes you think about what people will do to get what they want, even if they already have it good! "
