Book Synopsis

Counterterrorist agent Mitch Rapp is on a collision course with America's most feared enemy in this white-knuckle political thriller from "the best pure adrenaline-charged action writer out there" (The Providence Journal) and #1 New York Times bestselling author of American Assassin.

No longer willing to wait for the international community to stop its neighboring enemy, Israel brings down Iran's billion-dollar nuclear program in an ingeniously conceived operation. The attack leaves a radioactive tomb and environmental disaster in its wake, and has Iranian president Amatullah calling for blood--American blood.

Seeing opportunity where others fear reprisals, Mitch Rapp devises a brilliant plan to humiliate Iran's government and push the nation to the brink of revolution. But when a back-channel meeting between CIA director Irene Kennedy and her Iranian counterpart goes disastrously wrong, Rapp is locked in a showdown with a Hezbollah mastermind in league with Amatullah--and he is given twenty-four hours to do whatever it takes to stop unthinkable catastrophe. This story blends global tension, covert operations, and high-stakes suspense, perfect for readers of CIA counterterrorism novels and political thrillers set in the Middle East.
