Character Study
I believe that the suspect that is currently the most suspicious would be Stan Hurley. Mitch Rapp was highly despised upon for being the number one assassin within the CIA. He had thought of himself as being “immortal” which was the main reason why it leads to him getting shot in the shoulder. After failing to complete his mission he was branded with the name of “Rogue Assassin”. Everyone suspected that Mitch was the one who had killed the 9 innocents which resulted with him becoming “rogue” The main reason why I believe Hurley is the one who set up Mitch Rapp is because of the intensity that he wants to kill him throughout the book. It gets to a point where Hurley is forcing a guy named Chet to join in and help chase down the “rogue” assassin. Chet is a person who loves to kill. He states, “Chet could see he had found the perfect place and the ultimate mentor. No more saluting, no more rules, and the best part-he got to kill people.” Chet was destined to go to jail but he all avoided it by joining up with Hurley. In the book, Hurley had kept a very keen eye on Mitch Rapp, even before the murder happened which is quite suspicious. Hurley has kept constant surveillance and the only reason to do such a thing is to be able to have plentiful evidence to frame him and kill him. Being an assassin for the CIA, Mitch knows a lot of things, many of them which are top secret. To keep him silenced The CIA will focus on disposing of him in the case that they find him guilty of charges.
