Description
Named the Best Thriller of 2022 by The Real Book Spy Mitch Rapp confronts a very different kind of killer in this explosive “and entertaining from the first page to the last” (The Providence Journal) addition to Vince Flynn’s #1 New York Times bestselling series, written by Kyle Mills.With President Anthony Cook convinced that Mitch Rapp poses a mortal threat to him, CIA Director Irene Kennedy is forced to construct a truce between the two men. The terms are simple: Rapp agrees to leave the country and stay in plain sight for as long as Cook controls the White House. In exchange, the administration agrees not to make any moves against him. This fragile détente holds until Cook’s power-hungry security adviser convinces him that Rapp has no intention of honoring their agreement. To put him on the defensive, they leak the identity of his partner, Claudia Gould. As Rapp races to neutralize the enemies organizing against her, he discovers that a new type of assassin is on her trail. Known only as Legion, the shadowy killer has created a business model based on double-blind secrecy. Neither the assassin nor the client knows the other’s identity. Because of this, Legion can’t be called off nor can they afford to fail. No matter how long it takes—weeks, months, years—they won’t stand down until their target is dead. Faced with the seemingly impossible task of finding and stopping Legion, Rapp and his people must close ranks against a world that has turned on them in this white-knuckled thriller filled with “plenty of action and political intrigue” (Booklist).

Booklist Review
Loyal readers of the Mitch Rapp series have known for a while that CIA operative Rapp and the U.S. president, Anthony Cook, don't exactly get along. In this latest installment, Rapp's boss, the CIA director, has the unpleasant job of brokering an uneasy peace between the two men, but the peace doesn't last long before Rapp is forced to come to the defense of his partner, Claudia Gold, whose identity was apparently leaked to her enemies by the president himself. Now Mitch has to try to protect her while simultaneously proving who was behind the leak. This is the twenty-first Rapp novel (the first 13 were written by creator Vince Flynn before his death in 2013, with Mills continuing the series), and by now readers know what to expect: plenty of action and political intrigue, of course, but also characters with more depth than one might expect to find in a plot-driven series. A solid entry in a dependable franchise.
