Part of Mitch Rapp, book 2
First published 2012
Mitch Rapp pulls the trigger on his silenced pistol in a Paris hotel, but the mission goes catastrophically wrong. Nine bodies turn up, including Libya's oil minister, creating an international crisis that Washington refuses to own. The CIA trained Rapp and set him loose to dismantle the terrorist network behind the Pan Am Lockerbie bombing. For a year, he has methodically eliminated targets across the globe, kill by untraceable kill. Now his handler Stan Hurley considers him a liability and wants him pulled in. Rapp has other plans. He slips away from CIA control to operate alone, hunting the remaining monsters on his list. But a cornered operative with his skills and determination becomes the most dangerous predator of all. The network that destroyed Pan Am Flight 103 is about to discover what happens when they make an enemy of Mitch Rapp.
