DESCRIPTION:
Meanwhile, a half a world away, photojournalist Katie James is working on a story of international importance. Filled with the kind of breathtaking plot turns and remarkable characters that only David Baldacci can deliver, it will be the most explosive thriller of the year.. But shortly after her meeting with a potential inside source, she is smuggled unconscious onto an airplane headed to an undisclosed destination. In the days to come, Katie and Shaw will be reunited in a deadly duel of nerve and wits against a surprising, secretive enemy and led around the worl
Mark said I think I've read this before. Our hero, A. Shaw, is on the trail of the evil sadistic megalomaniac Nicholas Creel - no, wait, it's Evan Waller this time. Waller/Creel is a hugely successful businessman in his 60's with a contempt for weak people and thinks that the strong should rule the world, but still sees a place for going to church. His one weakness is younger women, whom he'll enjoy for a while and then kill, or at least try to. He is assisted by his loyal but weak aide, Dick Pender - no, no, that's Alan Rice - who fails him once too often and is murdered as a result. Wa. "have read many of Baldacci's books which I generally like better than this one" according to Davis. I have read many of Baldacci's books which I generally like better than this one.

Another Baldacci Winner Amazon Customer I like Baldacci's style, across all his venues. This one with the continuation of the A Shaw character, was well-done with enough suspense and narrative to hold my interest late into the night. Of the several violent sequences, it was graphically descriptive and frightening, but the scenes fit the story perfectly. It helped to have read the preceding A Shaw story.
