Pursuit of Honor is a thriller novel by Vince Flynn, and the twelfth novel in the Mitch Rapp series.

The book opens days after Muslim extremists have blown up a power lunch restaurant filled with members of Congress and staffers.

Rapp is on the trail of a liberal lawyer inspector general of the CIA who has been giving out information that some consider to aid the enemy.

Meanwhile, three of the extremists that helped carry out the DC attack are hiding out in rural Iowa, waiting for the heat to die down.

Hakim is the mastermind who knows about the US after living there for a long time, while Karim is a hotheaded soldier who desires a legacy as "The Lion of Al-Qaeda."
