And all the while, Robie and Reel are stalked by a new adversary: an unknown and unlikely assassin, a woman who has trained her entire life to kill, and who has her own list of targets -- a list that includes Will Robie and Jessica Reel.« less
In true Baldacci fashion, this book starts out with separate puzzle pieces, and weaves the story little by little till all the pieces fit together. Truly engrossing, where every supporting character is written so well that you get to know them and how they think and how they might act. There's plenty of action and suspense, all making for a fine "can't put it down" read.
I love David baldacci's books. But this one took a loooooong time to get going. Once it did it was a great thriller but to me he was working way to much on the set up and creating multiple plots
