PREORDER DENIED ACCESS, THE NEWEST PULSE-POUNDING THRILLER IN THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING MITCH RAPP SERIES, COMING THIS SEPTEMBER.As war looms in the Middle East, only Mitch Rapp can deliver truth and justice. 2011. On a remote mountaintop overlooking the remains of the Iranian nuclear weapons programme, Azad Ashani witnesses a Quds Force demonstration of a capability meant to upend America’s war in the Middle East. Ashani, director of the Iranian Ministry of Intelligence and Security and Irene Kennedy’s former back channel to the Iranian government, recognises the demonstration’s true significance and the nation-ending conflict it will provoke. In Washington, DC, CIA director Irene Kennedy briefs the president that the operational window to kill or capture Osama bin Laden is rapidly closing. But before he’ll authorise a commando raid on Pakistani soil, the president demands irrefutable proof of bin Laden’s presence. Proof he trusts just one man to provide.  Praise for the Mitch Rapp series ‘Grabs you by the scruff of the neck on page one and doesn’t let you go until the end’ Stephen Leather ‘Sizzles with inside information and CIA secrets’ Dan Brown ‘A cracking, uncompromising yarn that literally takes no prisoners’ The Times ‘Vince Flynn clearly has one eye on Lee Child's action thriller throne with this twist-laden story . . . instantly gripping’ Shortlist ‘Action-packed, in-your-face, adrenalin-pumped super-hero macho escapist fiction that does exactly what it says on the label’ Irish Independent ‘Mitch Rapp is a great character who always leaves the bad guys either very sorry for themselves or very dead’ Guardian
