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. PRAISE FOR TOM CLANCY 'Constantly
