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 d?tente holds until Cook?s power-hungry security
adviser convinces him that Rapp has no intention of honoring
their agreement. In an effort to put him on the defensive, they
leak the true identity of his partner, Claudia Gould. As Rapp
races to neutralize the enemies organizing against her, he
discovers that a new generation of assassins is on her trail. A
killer known to intelligence agencies only as Legion.
