With the death of author Vince Flynn (at age 47), I want to work my way through most of his books, especially the ones with Mitch Rapp, the CIA superagent. This one is #5, where Irene Kennedy becomes the director of the CIA, but has enemies in those who don't like her straight forward approach. We have the usual corrupt Washington politicians, who will do anything to get what is in their best interests.
Rapp has a girlfriend in this book - Anna Riley, a White House reporter. These types really can't have girlfriends, as they can be used against them, plus for the girlfriend it is hard to be with someone who is in constant danger. Rapp ends up working with a former lover living in Italy - freelance assassin Donatella Rahn.
Then they learn that Saddam Hussein is working on developing nuclear weapons in a basement of a hospital, and the only way to deal with this without enormous collateral damage is to send in Mitch Rapp. (read in the summer)
