Order to Kill

Publishers Weekly š 08/29/2016 The rousing 15th entry in the late Vince Flynnfs bestselling series, the first by Mills (who completed 2015fs The Survivor), pits CIA officer Mitch Rapp against Grisha Azarov, Russian president Maxim Krupinfs personal assassin, and for once Mitch isnft the odds-on favorite. Krupin has an ingenious plan involving the theft of Pakistani nuclear warheads and the deployment of dirty bombs in Saudi Arabiafs oil fields. The goal is to destroy the Saudisf capability and enhance Russiafs ability to fulfill the worldfs need for oil. As always, foiling this scheme falls on Mitchfs legendary shoulders, and watching him go about his lethal business is just as compelling as when Flynn was doing the writing. Mitch has to deal with a tragic love interest, Leah; rescue his best friend, Scott Coleman; capture a stolen nuke; escape from ISIS-controlled Iraq; and defeat the most deadly foe hefs ever battled. No problem. Satisfied fans will hope that Mills will fulfill their continuing Mitch Rapp needs far into the future. Agent: Sloan Harris, ICM. (Oct.)
