Vince Flynn's #1 New York Times bestselling series continues the American Assassin storyline taking a young Mitch Rapp on his first deep cover mission in which he infiltrates a jihadi organization bent on unleashing a weapon of mass destruction--written by Don Bently. Mitch Rapp signed up to be an assassin. A lone wolf who hunts and kills his nation's enemies on their turf. Now, he has a new mission. When Mitch's target--a Pakistani chemical weapons scientist for hire--is snatched from the streets of Verona, the American Assassin must penetrate the jihadi cell responsible for the brazen kidnapping before they can make use of the scientist's deadly expertise. But Mitch isn't the only one interested in the scientist. The Pakistani represents an existential threat. A threat that will fray alliances, force enemies to seek common ground, and resurrect long settled vendettas.

As the events triggered by the kidnapping cascade out of control, Mitch Rapp must stop the chain reaction before the Middle East reaches critical mass.
