#1 New York Times bestselling writer of American Assassin-now a major motion picture.

Pursuing up Vince Flynn’s The Third Option, this electrifying Mitch Rapp thriller delivers “first-class political intrigue from a get better at storyteller” (Booklist).

The confirmation of Dr. Irene Kennedy as the CIA’s brand-new director explodes into chaos being a fatal inside story to ruin her and prematurely end the president’s term emerges. In the meantime, as a dangerous world leader gains power in the nuclear hands race, Israel causes the president’s hands with a chilling ultimatum. With the specter of Globe War III looming, the president calls at the top counterterrorism operative Mitch Rapp, who scours the alleys of Baghdad and the strategies of Washington for America’s opponents. But with just two weeks to obtain the nukes, Rapp is normally up against a ticking clock-and impossible odds.
