Combining the Washington-insider excitement of a Baldacci with the feet-on-the-ground authenticity of a McNab, THE APOSTLE is Brad Thor's debut publication for Hodder. A new president means a new approach to counter-terrorism, and that means covert agent Scot Harvath is out of a job. But every politician has a secret, and when the daughter of a highly-connected family is kidnapped abroad, America's new leader will agree to anything - even a crazily dangerous rescue plan- to keep his secret hidden. And there is only one man he can call on to execute the mission . . . THE APOSTLE is a blistering novel of action and duplicity from the Number One New York Times bestseller Brad Thor.
