β¦ Synopsis
An invaluable CIA asset has gone missing, and with him, secrets that in the wrong hands could prove disastrous. The only question is: Can Mitch Rapp find him first?
Joe Rickman, head of CIA clandestine operations in Afghanistan, has been kidnapped and his four bodyguards executed in cold blood. But Mitch RappΠ²Πβ’s experience and nose for the truth make him wonder if something even more sinister isnΠ²Πβ’t afoot. Irene Kennedy, director of the CIA, has dispatched him to Afghanistan to find Rickman at all costs.
Rapp, however, isnΠ²Πβ’t the only one looking for Rickman. The FBI is too, and it quickly becomes apparent that theyΠ²Πβ’re less concerned with finding Rickman than placing the blame on Rapp.
With CIA operations in crisis, Rapp must be as ruthless and deceitful as his enemies if he has any hope of finding Rickman and completing his mission. But with elements within his own government working against both him and American interests, will Rapp be stopped dead before he can succeed?
Review
"Flynn is a master--maybe the master--of thrillers in which the pages seem to turn themselves." (Book Reporter )
"Flynn has never been better." (Providence Journal )
Π²ΠΡThe Last Man is arguably Flynn's best work yet. Tight, right and dynamite.Π²ΠΡ (Minneapolis Star Tribune )
"Certainly, The Last Man is one of FlynnΠ²Πβ’s most complex installments in the Rapp canon to date. And Flynn, master storyteller that he is, skillfully navigates the reader through the twists and turns of the tale to a conclusion that puts the main plot elements to rest while setting up the next intriguing volume." (Bookreporter )
"Flynn fans will not be disappointed. Absolutely first rate." (Men Reading Books blog )
