Mitch Rapp, the most skilled operative in the Secret Service anti-terrorism unit, must find a way inside the compromised building. His assignment puts him against armed extremists who control the most powerful residence on earth. Rapp faces overwhelming odds as he navigates the occupied halls where innocent lives hang in the balance. The mission demands he rescue both the captives and the leader of the free world.
