- bullet by bullet. His next target
- a Libyan diplomat
- should be easy. Prone to drink & currently in Paris without a bodyguard, Rapp quickly tracks the man down & sends a bullet into his skull while he's sleeping. But in the split second it takes the bullet to leave the silenced pistol, everything changes. The door to the hotel room is kicked open & gunfire erupts all around Rapp. When the news breaks that Libya's Oil Minister has been killed along with three innocent civilians & four unidentified men, the French authorities are certain that the gunman is wounded & still on the loose in Paris. As the finger-pointing begins, Rapp's handlers have only one choice
- deny any responsibility for the incident & race to do damage control. Rapp has become a liability, & he must not be taken alive by the French authorities. But alone in Paris, on the run from the authorities & from his own employers, Mitch Rapp must prepare to fight for his life. Read by Armand Schultz
