From the back cover: Iraq has a nuclear weapon. The CIA has Mitch Rapp. Israel has discovered that Iraq is close to entering the nuclear arms race and they've vowed to do whatever it takes to stop them. With the Middle East teetering on the brink of chaos, the US president is forced to react. The commander in chief's secret weapon? Top counterterrorism operative Mitch Rapp. Israel has given the USA only two weeks to take the nukes out. After that, they will launch an attack to destroy the weapons themselves. With the haunting spectre of World War III looming, Rapp must race against time and impossible odds - tearing through the deadly alleyways of Baghdad and the corruption-riddled streets of Washington DC, taking drastic measures against anyone who dares get in his way.
