Publisher's Summary CIA counterterrorism operative Mitch Rapp falls prey to government forces with an agenda of their own after Dr. Irene Kennedy is named the successor to dying CIA Director Thomas Stansfield—a choice that enrages many inside the world’s most powerful intelligence agency. Her detractors will resort to extreme measures to prevent her from taking the reins—which makes Rapp an expendable asset. But Mitch Rapp is no one’s pawn, and he will stop at nothing to find out who has set him up. Hear Mitch Rapp , the CIA's top operative, battle global terrorism in more of Vince Flynn's political thrillers. ©2011 Vince Flynn (P)2011 Simon & Schuster
