Kill Shot by Vince Flynn


This is the eleventh book written in the Mitch Rapp spy-thriller series, but in the chronology of the series it is book number two; the second of the prequels that highlight Mitch’s early years as a CIA assassin.  Mitch, the rising young star in the CIA, resented by some, is sent on his first solo mission with no backup at all, when something goes wrong.  On his way out of a Paris hotel room, after taking out his target, he is attacked by a group of heavily armed men.  Mitch barely makes it out alive.  He knows he was set up and does not know who he can trust, so he takes it upon himself to find out who betrayed him.  When Mitch does not report back, the CIA is forced to send an extraction team to find him.  Unfortunately for Mitch, the man they sent has a personal vendetta against him.

This fast-paced thriller, full of action, political intrigue, and military jargon, will appeal to fans of classic thriller and espionage authors such as Robert Ludlum and John le Carré.
