Mitch Rapp finds the stakes are higher than ever as he embarks on the journey that will turn him into America's most deadly asset.
Summary:
In the year since the CIA trained and then unleashed him, Mitch Rapp has been steadily working his way through a list of men, bullet by bullet. With each swift and  untraceable kill, the tangled network of monsters responsible for the slaughter of 270 civilians in the Pan Am Lockerbie attack become increasingly aware that someone is hunting them. Rapp is given his next target, and finds the man asleep in his bed in Paris. In the split second it takes the bullet to leave Rapp’s silenced pistol, the trap is sprung and he finds himself in the fight of his life.
Evaluation:
I had not read any of Vince Flynn's thrillers and stumbled across it once night at Barnes and Noble.  As I was looking for a political thriller, I decided to try it Kill Shot and was not disappointed. Vince Flynn's latest page-turner is a nonstop political thriller that kept me reading feverishly till I finished the book.  Flynn's Mitch Rapp is by far the best political thriller series that I have come across.
Why I Would Include It: I would include this book because I think it would appeal to both men and women readers who enjoy a good political thriller.  I usually try to find a book in which there is a female protagonist but happily I have found a new author to follow and series to continue reading regardless of the gender.
