‘BALDACCI IS STILL PEERLESS’ – THE SUNDAY TIMES
REVENGE IS A DISH BEST SERVED COLD . . .
After turning informant for the FBI against a global criminal empire, Walter Nash has lost everything he cherished to its ruthless leader, Victoria Steers. Once gentle and sensitive, Nash’s rigorous training has forged him into a figure of power and precision with a singular mission: to take down Steers.
Defeating a mastermind requires cunning. Known for her sharp instincts, Steers confides in only a trusted few. To penetrate her inner circle and dismantle her operation, Nash must summon all of his savvy and strength.
But as he edges closer to the woman who unraveled his life, Nash finds himself oddly drawn to Steers in ways he never could’ve imagined. And what he uncovers will upend all he knows, leading him to a choice that will change everything.
Will the truth set Nash free?
Or end him?

Customer Reviews
Very good…But …
2nd in series and having anticipated a storyline as good as #1, I was a little disappointed.
A good read but not an excellent episode, although I am already looking forward to a third instalment as the characters are all there and very strong. 😎
Disappointing
Poor. I really enjoyed the first book, but this sequel isn’t of the same standard. It’s clumsily written - at times the prose reads like that of a 10-year-old - and the plot is awkwardly strung together. There’s absolutely no timeline, either: ‘a few months passed’, ‘some weeks later’.
I don’t like to give up on a book, so I read it to the end. But it was a chore rather than a pleasure.
Hope Rises
The first book started out with so much promise, it’s a pity that promise failed to materialise in the second book. The plot line became less credible and with each passing chapter. Shame really.
