    • CIA-agent Mitch Rapp vecht in de frontlinie mee in de oorlog tegen het terrorisme. Voor zijn nieuwste missie moet hij nog een leven redden: zijn eigen leven. Want oog om oog, tand om tand, dat is de wraak die de vader van de door Rapp omgebrachte terrorist eist. Rapp wordt doelwit van een wraakzuchtige internationale klopjacht, omdat er een beloning van twintig miljoen wordt uitgeloofd voor het lichaam van de moordenaar van de terrorist. De normaal zo koelbloedige agent komt tot de ontdekking dat zelfs onder bondgenoten van de Verenigde Staten er mensen geloven dat Rapp voor eens en voor altijd uitgeschakeld moet worden. Er ontstaat een jacht op de jager, en Rapp moet terugvallen op zijn instincten om rechtvaardigheid te doen laten gelden én om het er levend vanaf te brengen.

    • An invaluable CIA asset has gone missing, and with him, secrets that in the wrong hands could prove disastrous. The only question is: Can Mitch Rapp find him first? Joe Rickman, head of CIA clandestine operations in Afghanistan, has been kidnapped and his four bodyguards executed in cold blood. But Mitch Rapp’s experience and nose for the truth make him wonder if something even more sinister isn’t afoot. Irene Kennedy, director of the CIA, has dispatched him to Afghanistan to find Rickman at all costs. Rapp, however, isn’t the only one looking for Rickman. The FBI is too, and it quickly becomes apparent that they’re less concerned with finding Rickman than placing the blame on Rapp. With CIA operations in crisis, Rapp must be as ruthless and deceitful as his enemies if he has any hope of finding Rickman and completing his mission. But with elements within his own government working against both him and American interests, will Rapp be stopped dead before he can succeed?

      An unprecedented and terrifying bioterrorism plot threatens to kill millions in the midst of a divisive presidential election in this new thriller from the #1 New York Times bestselling Mitch Rapp series. A toxic presidential election is underway in an America already badly weakened by internal divisions. While politicians focus entirely on maintaining their own power and privilege, ISIS kidnaps a brilliant French microbiologist and forces him to begin manufacturing anthrax. Slickly produced videos chronicling his progress and threatening an imminent attack are posted to the Internet, intensifying the hysteria gripping the US. ISIS recruits a Mexican drug cartel to smuggle the bioweapon across the border, but it’s really just a diversion. The terrorist organization needs to keep Mitch Rapp and Irene Kennedy distracted long enough to weaponize a deadly virus that they stumbled upon in Yemen. If they succeed, they’ll trigger a pandemic that could rewrite the world order. Rapp embarks on a mission to infiltrate the Mexican cartels and track down the ISIS leader who he failed to kill during their last confrontation. But with Washington’s political elite increasingly lined up against him, he knows he’ll be on his own. “In the world of black-ops thrillers, Mitch Rapp remains the gold standard” (Booklist, starred review).
