Part of Mitch Rapp, book 4
First published 2004
Mitch Rapp receives orders for what the CIA tells him will be his last counterterrorism assignment. His target is a European industrialist who sells dangerous equipment to terrorist organizations. Rapp prepares to eliminate the man as he has eliminated so many threats before. But this mission carries a deadly secret. Forces inside the American government want to prevent the incoming CIA Director from taking power. They need a catastrophic failure to destroy the current administration. Rapp himself is the real target. The conspirators expect him to die quietly in Europe. They have made a fatal error. Instead of killing one of the CIA's most dangerous operatives, they have turned him into their enemy. Rapp survives the trap and now hunts the people who betrayed him. The men who tried to use him as a pawn will learn what happens when they cross a professional killer.
