In the murky world of counterterrorism, Mitch Rapp stands as America's most lethal weapon against those who threaten national security. His reputation precedes him in terrorist cells across the globe, where his name is whispered with fear. But what happens when the hunter becomes the hunted? When the man who's spent his career eliminating threats suddenly finds himself in the crosshairs of a sophisticated assassination plot? The price on Rapp's head is unprecedented-$20 million for his elimination. This astronomical sum reflects both the difficulty of killing such a formidable operative and the depth of hatred harbored by Saudi businessman Saeed Ahmed Abdullah, whose son died at Rapp's hands during an operation in Afghanistan. Behind the scenes, Prince Muhammad bin Rashid, Saudi Arabia's Minister for Islamic Affairs, sees an opportunity for revenge against American interference while maintaining plausible deniability through a carefully structured conspiracy. The plot unfolds with chilling efficiency: Saeed provides the money, former East German spymaster Erich Abel arranges the details, and the elite assassination team of Louis Gould and Claudia Morrell executes the plan. Each layer knows only what they need to know-a perfect compartmentalization that makes the conspiracy nearly impossible to trace.
