APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Former attorney David Baldacci hit paydirt in 1996 with his debut novel Absolute Power, the blockbuster political thriller which became a Clint Eastwood film. The frighteningly prolific Baldacci has since pumped out 40-plus bestsellers, including three starring FBI Special Agent Atlee Pine. This fourth Atlee Pine story sees our strong but sympathetic heroine complete her most personal mission: tracking down her long-lost twin sister Mercy, who was abducted by a mafioso when the girls were just six and has been missing for 30 years. Together with her sidekick-cum-surrogate mother figure Carol Blum, Pine finally finds out the truth. It’s a shocking discovery which brings her into deadly conflict with a vicious cage-fighter, a cold-blooded assassin and an all-powerful crime kingpin. This is muscular, masterfully crafted thriller-writing but beneath the bruising surface lay affecting themes of long-buried trauma, survival against the odds and the unbreakable bonds of family.
