About The Book

THE NEW YORK TIMES NUMBER ONE BESTSELLING AUTHOR

IN A TREACHEROUS GLOBAL CONSPIRACY, COVERT OPERATIVE MITCH RAPP IS THE TARGET OF ONE OF AMERICA’S CLOSEST ALLIES.

After 9/11, the United States made one of the most secretive and dangerous deals in its history. The evidence against the powerful Saudis who coordinated the attack would be buried. In return, King Faisal would promise to keep the oil flowing and deal with the conspirators in his midst.

When the king’s own nephew is discovered funding ISIS, the president suspects that the Saudis never intended to live up to their agreement. The royal family needs to be sent a message, and Mitch Rapp is just the man to deliver it. The catch? America can’t be seen moving against an ally. Rapp is on his own. Forced to make a decision that will change his life forever, Rapp quits the CIA and assembles a group of independent contractors to eliminate the threat.

When things go sideways fast, suddenly Rapp, supported only by a team of mercenaries with dubious allegiances, finds himself at the centre of the most elaborate manhunt in history. Will he survive this mission, or will he forever be branded as an enemy of the state?


AMERICAN ASSASSIN, book one in the series, is now a MAJOR MOTION PICTURE starring Dylan O'Brien (Maze Runner), Taylor Kitsch (True Detective) and Michael Keaton.
