"The pulse-pounding instalment in Vince Flynn's #1 New York Times bestselling series which continues the American Assassin storyline taking a young Mitch Rapp on his first deep cover mission in which he infiltrates a jihadi organisation bent on unleashing a weapon of mass destruction – written by Don Bentley.
Mitch Rapp signed up to be an assassin. A lone wolf who hunts and kills his nation’s enemies on their turf. Now, he has a new mission.
When Mitch’s target – a Pakistani chemical weapons scientist for hire – is snatched from the streets of Verona, the American Assassin must penetrate the jihadi cell responsible for the brazen kidnapping before they can make use of the scientist’s deadly expertise.
But Mitch isn’t the only one interested in the scientist.
The Pakistani represents an existential threat. A threat that will fray alliances, force enemies to seek common ground and resurrect long settled vendettas. As the events triggered by the kidnapping cascade out of control, Mitch Rapp must stop the chain reaction before the Middle East reaches critical mass.

"This latest pulse-pounding installment in Vince Flynn's #1 New York Times bestselling series takes Mitch Rapp back to his fledgling assassin days, completing the trilogy begun with American Assassin and Kill Shot.
The Central Intelligence Agency is in crisis.
Following the collapse of the Soviet Union, Congress is questioning the organization's necessity. Interim CIA director Thomas Stansfield is already on the back foot when things somehow get worse: a brilliantly run sting operation in Moscow has resulted in the arrest of America's most prized Russian asset and the expulsion of his CIA handler.
With the Moscow Station now paralyzed, Stansfield seeks help from Mitch Rapp, a newly minted assassin in the secretive Orion program. But Rapp has problems of his own: when his Swiss girlfriend's grandfather receives a box containing the head of a former Cold War comrade along with a note promising that hers will be next, Rapp finds himself on the frontlines in a war between the American and Russian intelligence services.
To protect the woman he loves and save the CIA from destruction, Mitch Rapp must be willing to risk everything.

"As war looms in the Middle East, only Mitch Rapp can deliver truth and justice.
2011. On a remote mountaintop overlooking the remains of the Iranian nuclear weapons programme, Azad Ashani witnesses a Quds Force demonstration of a capability meant to upend America's war in the Middle East. Ashani, director of the Iranian Ministry of Intelligence and Security and Irene Kennedy's former back channel to the Iranian government, recognises the demonstration's true significance and the nation-ending conflict it will provoke.
In Washington, DC, CIA director Irene Kennedy briefs the president that the operational window to kill or capture Osama bin Laden is rapidly closing. But before he'll authorise a commando raid on Pakistani soil, the president demands irrefutable proof of bin Laden's presence.
Proof he trusts just one man to provide.
