For more than ten years, Mitch Rapp has been on the frontline of the War against Terror. His bold actions have saved the lives of thousands - but in the process his list of enemies has grown inexorably. There are even those within his own government who would like to see him eliminated. Thousands of miles away, the influential father of a dead terrorist demands retribution for the death of his son at the hands of the infidels. He wants Rapp dead - and his hate-filled plea has found sympathetic ears. In the tangled, duplicitous world of espionage, there are those, even among America's allies, who feel Rapp has grown too effective. They've been looking for an excuse to eliminate America's No.1 counterterrorism operative - and they've decided to seize the chance. The Hunter has become the Hunted. A tragedy of unimaginable proportions is about to befall Mitch Rapp - and he must use all his cunning, skill and ruthless determination to stay alive and seek vengeance against the traitor who would bring him down.

Revenge and Mercy
I hate that I've been reading all of his books out of order. I wish they were numbered.
This one takes place while his wife was still alive, and is the story of how she got caught in the crossfire, and Mitch Rapp's revenge on those responsible. The character of Mitch Rapp is both admirable and terrifying to contemplate. Flynn shows the politics and egos involved in these decisions and shows how some of the tactics of the CIA, though questionable, yield results. It was violent, but that's the nature of the business when you're an assassin, I guess.
