Mitch Rapp makes a mortal enemy of Russia in this high-octane and ripped straight from next weeks headlines (The Real Book Spy) installment in the #1 New York Times bestselling series.

Mitch Rapp hates owing anyone a favorespecially when its the worlds most powerful crime lord. But when Damian Losa calls, Mitch is honor bound to answer.

The Syrian government has created a highly addictive new narcotic that it plans to distribute throughout Europe. Its a major threat to Losas business and hes determined to stop it by any means necessary. Rapp is the perfect choice for the mission. Not only does he have extensive experience operating in the Middle East, but hes also entirely expendable.

As he crosses into war-torn Syria, Rapp quickly discovers a shocking truth. The new drug isnt being produced by Damascus to prop up the governments collapsing finances. Instead, it was created by Russias asymmetrical warfare unit as a weapon against the West.

With far more than Damian Losas interests at stake, Rapp devises a desperate plan that forces him and his team onto a battlefield where the United States is virtually powerless, and allegiances shift almost hourly. Further, if Russia uncovers their plot, it will set off a confrontation between the two countries that could change the course of history in this bullet train to high adventure (Townhall).
