Mace Perry is a DC cop unjustly imprisoned and, after her release, hoping for exoneration and re-instatement to the force. In her corner are big sis Beth, the chief of police in DC, young lawyer Roy Kingman, and a wealthy philanthropist. Stacking the deck against her are mysterious government agents, several dead bodies, and Mona Danforth, a prosecutor whose "golden tresses oozed the scent of hairspray like blood from a finger cut."

Fast, enjoyable read, with clear writing (despite the unfortunate but amusing simile quoted above). And while the reader does have to suspend disbelief at times, it's nowhere near the level of Baldacci's last book, First Family.
