The third option

Mitch Rapp, the CIA's most lethal and efficient counterterrorism operative, is putting into play a meticulous plan to take out a notorious sponsor of terrorism--when he falls prey to government forces with an agenda of their own. Dr. Irene Kinnedy is named the successor to dying CIA Director Thomas Stansfield--a Choice that enrages many inside the world's most powerful intelligence agency. And her detractors will resort to extreme measures to prevent her from taking the reins. But what the Washington conspirators and backstabbing insiders do not know is that Mitch Rapp won't tolerate being their pawn.
