Publisher's summary

Edgar Roy - an alleged serial killer held in a secure, fortress-like Federal Supermax facility-is awaiting trial. He faces almost certain conviction. Sean King and Michelle Maxwell are called in by Roy's attorney, Sean's old friend and mentor Ted Bergin, to help work the case. But their investigation is derailed before it begins-en route to their first meeting with Bergin, Sean and Michelle find him murdered.

It is now up to them to ask the questions no one seems to want answered: Is Roy a killer? Who murdered Bergin? With help from some surprising allies, they continue to pursue the case. But the more they dig into Roy's past, the more they encounter obstacles, half-truths, dead-ends, false friends, and escalating threats from every direction. Their persistence puts them on a collision course with the highest levels of the government and the darkest corners of power. In a terrifying confrontation that will push Sean and Michelle to their limits, the duo may be permanently parted.

Great!

Great book. Interesting idea behind the story. It had been a while since I had read anything other than Camel Club books of his. It was nice to get back to these characters.

Go for it

Yeah, it's here again - single person (well in this case, there were 2 people), fighting against FBI and other gov agencies to uncover the truth. And yet, it's very compelling story and it's hard to stop the MP3 player.
It's a MUST for Baldacci's fans.

Very Good

Any additional comments?

This is a great job done by Ron McLarty and Orlagh Cassidy. I really enjoy when they work together, so I respectfully dissagree with other Audible members on this. David Baldacci is becoming one of my favorite writers.

Another winner from Baldacci...

Although I'm rather new to "Audible," and am still in awe of it, I think anyone would feel as I do... I hated to get to the ending because I was enjoying it so much!! When you spend time with a good book, whether listening or reading, it becomes like an old friend you can't wait to be with.. This is that type of book and the narration is excellent by Ron McLarty..

Another great Baldacci book.

Though the voices changed from time to time, it never took away from the performance and storyline. Music added was a good touch and drove the point home when something interesting was about to happen.

A cliff hanger until the very end. Action movie??.

This would indeed make a great action movie. Loved it. I highly advise all to read this thriller.
