Lethal Agent (18)

In the midst of a polarizing presidential election, an unprecedented and terrifying bioterrorism plot poses a threat to millions in the latest thriller from the #1 New York Times bestselling Mitch Rapp series. The United States is already deeply divided, with a toxic election in progress that is only exacerbating the internal rifts. As politicians focus on their own self-preservation and power, ISIS seizes a brilliant French microbiologist, compelling him to produce anthrax. The internet is flooded with slickly produced videos showcasing his work and issuing warnings of an imminent attack, leading to widespread panic in the US.

ISIS enlists a Mexican drug cartel to smuggle the bioweapon across the border, but this is merely a decoy. Their true objective is to distract Mitch Rapp and Irene Kennedy long enough to weaponize a deadly virus discovered in Yemen. Should they succeed, a global pandemic could ensue, potentially reshaping the world order.

Rapp undertakes a dangerous mission to infiltrate the Mexican cartels and locate the elusive ISIS leader he failed to eliminate in their previous encounter. Faced with mounting opposition from Washington’s political elite, Rapp understands that he must rely on himself to thwart the impending disaster.

Described as the pinnacle of black-ops thrillers, Mitch Rapp continues to set the standard in the genre (Booklist, starred review).
