Path of the Assassin

Secret Service agent Scot Harvath survived the kidnapping of the President in Brad Thor's debut, and now he is methodically working through everyone responsible. The trail leads to a target with no known face, a terrorist whose identity is unknown to every intelligence agency that matters. To identify him, Harvath's team recruits the one civilian who survived an encounter with the man: a woman whose memory is the only lead in a case that spans North Africa and Rome.

Armand Schultz commands the propulsive energy of Thor's second Harvath novel, giving the geopolitical action sequences the driven urgency they require while handling the novel's quieter character dynamics with equal skill. At thirteen hours, Path of the Assassin is a substantial listen for thriller fans who want their espionage grounded in operational detail and globe-spanning stakes.
