Publisher Description
When Walter Nash is recruited by the FBI to help bring down a global crime network his life is turned completely upside down in this thriller from #1 New York Times bestselling author David Baldacci.
Nash is an intelligent man, tough but fair-minded. He has a wife and a daughter and a very high-level position at Sybaritic Investments, where his innate skills and dogged tenacity have carried him to the top of the pyramid in his business career. Despite never going on grand adventures, and always working too many hours, he has a happy and upscale life with his family.
However, following his estranged Vietnam-veteran father’s funeral, Nash is unexpectedly approached by the FBI in the middle of the night. They have an important request: become their inside man to expose an enterprise that is laundering large sums of money through Sybaritic. At the top of this illegal operation is Victoria Steers, an international criminal mastermind that the FBI has been trying to bring down for years.
Nash has little choice but to accept the FBI’s demands and try to bring Steers and her partners to justice. But when Steers discovers that Nash is working with the FBI, she turns the tables on him in a way he never could have contemplated. And that forces Nash to take the ultimate step both to survive and to take his revenge: He must become the exact opposite of who he has always been.
And even that may not be enough.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
An ordinary businessman must turn himself into an action hero to survive after an FBI plan to recruit him goes bad in this breakneck David Baldacci thriller. Nice guy Walter Nash is just an ordinary family man with a high-level finance job at Sybaritic Investments until the FBI recruits him to bring down his money-laundering boss, Victoria Steers. But when Steers realizes his double role and retaliates, threatening everything Nash holds dear, he must transform into a very different kind of crime fighter if he wants to save his family and himself. Author David Baldacci is in his element with Nash, deftly turning the devoted-dad everyman into a tattooed action hero intent not only on survival but also revenge. Piling on unexpected plot pivots throughout this pulse-pounding thriller, he keeps the over-the-top action fast and furious, all the while mining Nash’s past for secrets and motivations that will keep him in the fight. Nash Falls kept us reading way too late into the night.

Riveting
This book kept me engaged!
The WORST of all .
How could the author end this book the way he did. No finality whatsoever for any of the lead characters.? UNLESS there is a follow up book sequel in which event we should be told up front before reading about a thousand pages. I doubt I will ever read any more books by Baldacci.
Almost …
… perfect. What a thrill ride. I didn’t want it to end. Can’t wait for the second installment. David Baldacci is the consummate professional with each detail thoroughly researched.
