Publisher's summary

Spies are like rats.
In DC, you're never more than ten feet from one.


Jason Trapp is about to find that out the hard way. All he wanted was a week off, but the world had other plans. Trapp stumbles onto something he wasn't meant to see, and when half a dozen top US officials are murdered by drug cartel sicarios, the reason becomes sickeningly clear.

Within days, Mexico is on the brink of civil war, and the violence is spilling across the US border. The drug cartels are at war, innocent people are dying, and the President needs options.

Trapp soon realizes there's more to this than meets the eye. Someone out there planned this.

But he intends to finish it.

The Apparatus is the fifth book in Jack Slater's best-selling Jason Trapp CIA thriller series. It sees the return of fan favorite operative Eliza Ikeda, and the introduction of a shadowy global organization that will prove Trapp's stiffest test yet...

I like the premise

It was a good book, but something was missing. It seemed a little boring but there was a lot of action. I liked it but I like other ones better. It’s an originalish plot as well.

The relationship with Jason and Acadia seems to be a partnership with benefits.

Slow start with character introductions, and took time to Circe back to insert them into the story

Great series!

I love these books! I don’t understand why the narrations for the last several books came to a screeching halt. Audible, please fix it!
