CW: Kidnapping, child abuse
"For many long years,
Atlee Pine was tormented by uncertainty after her twin sister, Mercy,
was abducted at the age of six and never seen again. Now, just as Atlee
is pressured to end her investigation into Mercy's disappearance, she
finally gets her most promising breakthrough yet: the identity of her
sister's kidnapper, Ito Vincenzo.
With time running out, Atlee
and her assistant Carol Blum race to Vincenzo's last known location in
Trenton, New Jersey -- and unknowingly stumble straight into John
Puller's case, blowing his arrest during a drug ring investigation
involving a military installation.
Stunningly, Pine and Puller's
joint investigation uncovers a connection between Vincenzo's family and a
breathtaking scheme that strikes at the very heart of global democracy.
Peeling back the layers of deceit, lies and cover-ups, Atlee finally
discovers the truth about what happened to Mercy. And that truth will
shock Pine to her very core." --Amazon blurb
While I don't read many bestselling authors, I inexplicably love David Baldacci. He writes well thought out characters and manages to write female leads well. As much as I love Atlee, I also love her brave assistant Carol Blum. I was excited to see a character from another favorite Baldacci series, John Puller. This one had some scenes that were hard to deal with.
