Lethal Agent

In the midst of a contentious presidential election, a horrific and unprecedented bioterrorism scheme threatens to kill millions of people in this "gut punch of a tale that exploits our greatest fears" (The Providence Journal) from the #1 New York Times bestselling Mitch Rapp series. A poisonous presidential election is currently taking place in a severely weakened America due to internal tensions. Politicians are solely concerned with holding onto power, but ISIS kidnaps a talented French microbiologist and makes him start producing anthrax. The internet is flooded with well-made films that document his progress and sound like an impending attack, which feeds the panic that's engulfing the country. In reality, it's really a diversion as ISIS enlists a drug cartel in Mexico to transfer the bioweapon across the border. In order to weaponize a lethal virus that they discovered in Yemen, the terrorist group needs to divert Mitch Rapp and Irene Kennedy for a sufficient amount of time. Should they be successful, it might start a pandemic that changes the global order. Rapp sets out to track down the ISIS leader he was unable to assassinate in their previous encounter and infiltrate the Mexican cartels. But, he is aware that he will be alone as the political establishment in Washington is turning against him. Lethal Agent, again another outstanding and suspenseful thriller, demonstrates why "Mitch Rapp is the hero we need, maybe now more than ever" (The Real Book Spy).
