What this book is about
Mitch Rapp is sent on a mission to Germany — and the operation goes wrong in a way that can only mean he was set up. Someone inside the CIA's leadership ordered his death. Rapp survives, and now he wants to know who signed the order. The Third Option is the fourth Mitch Rapp novel — Flynn's most CIA-institutional-corruption focused.
