The aftermath of a shocking crime sends Jack Ryan, Jr. down a path that leads to international destruction in the latest entry in this #1 New York Times bestselling series.
The quiet of a Texas night is shattered by the sounds of screeching brakes, crumpling metal and, most shockingly, rapid gunfire. The auto accident Jack Ryan, Jr. thought he witnessed turned out to be a professional hit. Jack may be too late to save the victim, but he'll be damned if he's going to let the hitters escape justice.
He's got just one lead - a meeting the victim was going to. When Jack shows up instead, he's drawn into the seedy underbelly of a small Texas town and the cold case of a college student who vanished from its streets.
Jack is left with nothing but questions. Who wants it to look like the victim was drunk? Why does someone want an innocent witness killed? And most of all, what's a team of South African hitmen doing in the Lone Star State?
His quest for answers will take Jack from a quiet Texas road to the middle of an international conspiracy - and may just cost him his life.

After surviving a clandestine operation that went tragically wrong,
Matt Drake escaped Syria with his life, but little else. Now, to
save the life of another, he must return to Syria and confront his
biggest failure in a debut thriller Lee Child calls sensationally
good. Defense Intelligence Agency operative Matt Drake broke a
promise. A promise that cost three people their lives and crippled
his best friend. Three months later, he's paralyzed by survivor's
guilt and haunted by the memories of the fallen. Matt may have left
Syria, but Syria hasn't left him. In the midst of his self-imposed
exile, Matt is dragged back into the world of espionage and assets
that he tried to forget. A Pakistani scientist working for an ISIS
splinter cell has created a terrifying weapon of mass destruction.
The scientist offers to defect with the weapon, but he trusts just
one man to bring him out of Syria alive--Matt Drake. It's a suicide
mission--one man against an army of terrorists. Still, with stakes
this high, Matt has no choice but to try. He's going in on high
alert, but he's blind to his greatest vulnerability. His most
dangerous enemy is closer to home--not on the battlefield, but in
the Oval Office.
