#1 New York Times bestselling author Vince Flynn is back
with another nail-biting political thriller that follows the
young Mitch Rapp on a deadly mission to hunt down the men
responsible for the Pan Am Lockerbie terrorist attack. For
months, Mitch Rapp has been steadily working his way through
a list of men, bullet by bullet. With each kill, the tangled
network of monsters responsible for the slaughter of 270
civilians becomes increasingly clear. He is given his next
target: a plump Libyan diplomat who is prone to drink and is
currently in Paris without a single bodyguard. Rapp finds
him completely unprotected and asleep in his bed. With
confidence in his well-honed skills and conviction of the
man’s guilt, he easily sends a bullet into the man’s skull.
But in the split second it takes the bullet to leave the
silenced pistol, everything changes. The door to the hotel
room is kicked open and gunfire erupts all around Rapp. In
an instant the hunter has become the hunted. Rapp is left
wounded and must flee for his life. The next morning, the
news breaks in Washington that Libya’s Oil Minister has been
killed along with three innocent civilians and four
unidentified men. The French authorities are certain that
the gunman is wounded and on the loose in Paris. As the
finger pointing begins, Rapp’s handlers have only one choice
—deny any responsibility for the incident and pray that
their newest secret weapon stays that way, avoiding capture
and dying quietly. One person in the group, however, is not
prone to leaving things to chance. Rapp has become a
liability, and he absolutely cannot be allowed to be taken
alive by the French authorities. But it will soon become
clear that nothing is more dangerous than a wounded and
cornered Mitch Rapp.
