| Mitch Rapp is back and this time he is fighting against evil in Europe, the Eastern Shore, and his own heart. What appeared to be a "routine" assassination of one of Germany's wealthiest industrialist, who just happen to be supplying Saddam Hussein (pre-9/11) with WMD, turns into a chest thumping suprise for Mitch Rapp. He must escape from a fire, get out of Europe, and return to the US to find out who (almost) had him killed.
To add heartbreak to misery, Mitch is trying to carve a niche in his ex-Navy Seal heart for his new love for the beautiful White House news reporter Anna O'Reilly. Rapp fans will remember that Mitch saved Anna from being the victim of a despicable deed in "Transfer of Power". Young psychotherapists can have a field day figuring out why Mitch (the savior) and Anna (the savee) have fallen in love. When Mitch isn't trying to call Anna to tell that he is OK, "just another hard day at the assassin's office, honey", he must figure out if he was nearly killed by his most trusted mentors, Dr. Irene Kennedy, heir apparent to become director of the CIA, and Thomas (his nom-de-plum because you would never call someone who garners so much respect "Tommy") Stansfied. Fortunately, Mitch can summon a high-tech helicopter to spy on his house from 3 miles out over the Chesapeake Bay, snipers, or the country's best computer hacker to help him out of his conundrums. Who is trying to kill Mitch? Why do they want to see Irene Kennedy fail? Why does Mitch suddenly consider settling down with a very pushy reporter when he can just as easliy break someone's neck just coughing on him. | ||
