Her name is Atlee Pine, the latest creation from bestselling author David Baldacci. She has unstoppable tenacity, always a fighter who is unwilling to cede any ground. She has endured real nightmares and she has the emotional and physical scars to show for it. And she got that long before she became an adult. She is a FBI Special Agent assigned to the wilds of the western US. She has to cover, often solo, vast tracts of area: Wyoming, Montana, Idaho, Colorado, Arizona. Small towns, impossibly long distances in-between, isolation like most on the East Coast have never experienced, and an environment where anything can and does happen. Working with the locals who respect, and also sometimes fear her, and have never really been allowed to know her, Atlee Pine turns her vast investigative skills and unmatched drive to find out the truth. Along the way she will revisit painful memories of her own, come to grips with what she is and what she might one day aspire to be. But in the end, she will have to confront not only a new monster, but also the old one of her nightmares. Atlee Pine is a great debut for Baldacci. She is a tough FBI agent who is looking for her twin sister, Mercy, who has been taken from their bedroom at age six. In this book, she is working the Grand Canyon area and is searching for a Priest brother. It is a great introduction to Atlee Pine and a mystery to match. If you like action thrillers then you will like this one. Looking forward to my next Atlee Pine novel in the future.
