Publisher Description
Locked in a battle of nerve and wits, a mysterious intelligence operative and a vigilante agent race against time to take down a greedy businessman bent on destroying millions of lives in this #1 New York Times bestselling thriller.
Evan Waller is a monster . . .
He has built a fortune from his willingness to buy and sell anything . . . and anyone. In search of new opportunities, Waller has just begun a new business venture: one that could lead to millions of deaths all over the globe. On his trail is Shaw, the mysterious operative from The Whole Truth, who has tracked Waller to Provence and must prevent him from closing his latest deal. But someone else is pursuing Waller: Reggie Campion, an agent for a secret vigilante group headquartered in a musty old English estate—and she has an agenda of her own.
Hunting the same man and unaware of each other's mission, Shaw and Reggie will be caught in a deadly duel of nerves and wits. Hitchcockian in its intimate buildup of suspense and filled with the remarkable characters, breathtaking plot turns, and blockbuster finale that are David Baldacci's hallmarks, Deliver Us From Evil is one of the most gripping thrillers you'll read this year.

"Another excellent title from Baldacci. If only this series were moe extensive. Characters develop, plots twist... DB knows how to engage a reader. Somehow I read this one before the first in the series, so now I must go back in time. Can't wait to see what happens previous."
— Agathon (4 out of 5 stars)
Quotes
-
“Equal parts Hitchcock and James Bond, it’s the perfect literary cocktail...One of Baldacci’s best.”
— Richmond Times-Dispatch -
“The book is an excellent, groping, suspenseful, and exciting novel, with interesting characters with whom we can identify...The novel is easy to read.”
— Large Print Reviews -
“Ron McLarty comfortably handles the diverse accents and speech rhythms required to establish identifiable characters of both genders…McLarty’s command of pace and clarity of delivery allow the listener to navigate the challenges of following two separate investigations while also untangling the pathology of a war criminal and terrorist. McLarty’s subtle emotional intensity is particularly compelling as he presents horrifying scenes without theatrics…[A] satisfying audio experience.”
— AudioFile -
“This is a very clever novel, and full marks go to Baldacci for pulling off an especially difficult type of story—one in which neither of the central characters knows entirely what’s going on, while the reader is omniscient. It’s a lot of fun watching the two scope each other out, trying to determine whether the other is a threat (even as their mutual attraction grows). We become intensely involved in the story, wishing we could step inside the book and clue its two protagonists into what’s going on. The only problem—for fans of Shaw, anyway—is that, in Reggie, Baldacci has created such an interesting and engaging character that he might have made Shaw redundant.”

" One of the best I have listened to in some time. If you are a fan, you must get this book. "
— david, 9/4/2019 -
" The second book in the series. Great action story, nice bit of pathos. Third book in the series, if he writes it, should be really good, i hope. English accents were a bit funny by the narrator, but that happens now and again. "
— Chris, 6/28/2017 -
" One word: awful. I don't know what's wrong with Baldacci, but this is the second of his last two books that have been truly bad. I always admired Baldacci for knowing how to expertly walk the line between having a compelling, suspenseful story, and having lots of graphic violence. With this novel he has crossed the line into gratuitous violence without a real purpose, and that really adds nothing to the story. The guy was a bad guy, a serious torturer, we get it...move on! Unnecessary. And the ending? Are you serious? Guy "causes" harm to girl because of his work, guy cuts off girl...I feel like we've been here before, yes? "
— Amy, 2/19/2014 -
" It was very interesting. I plan on reading it again in a year or two to pick up anything that I missed this time. "
— Charlie, 2/9/2014 -
" Enjoyed every bit of it. "
— Bill, 1/30/2014 -
" Just starting so we'll see. Pretty Good! I think I'll try another of his. "
— Ksafford, 1/19/2014 -
" What a downer, unbelievable characters, violence, and an unhappy ending. I usually love Baldacci, but not this one. I don't care what happens with the hero in the future, and the women, could he have made them more gullible, or stupid? "
— Frances, 1/17/2014 -
" Meh....Got better toward the end "
— Chantelle, 1/14/2014 -
" One scene was too graphic for me. "
— Sharon, 12/26/2013 -
" good, like this better than his camel club series "
— Lori, 12/20/2013 -
" One of his best I've read in a long while. "
— B.J., 11/20/2013 -
" A good read, although typical of the genre. There weren't too many unexpected twists however it held my interest to the end. "
— Daryl, 11/15/2013 -
" Well paced action, solid story, Baldacci continues to please "
— Rich, 11/7/2013 -

— Martha, 11/7/2013 -
" This was a pretty good book. "
— Bill, 7/4/2013 -
" I'm definitely going to keep reading this author. "
— Ceri, 4/17/2013 -
" I was not impressed with this book, that received rave reviews from critics. The book was entirely to slow. I will give the writer credit it had a great ending. I have read some others of Baldacci's novels and will check him out again, but I will not read this love story again. "
— Pat, 4/4/2013 -
" Fast paced and easy to read. Good book but I figured it out before the end of the book, that was disappointing. "
— Karen, 12/24/2012 -
" One of Baldacci's better books. "
— Cynthia, 12/19/2012 -

" I found it a little too much of a combination of formula mystery + overly evil "
— Karen, 8/13/2012 -
" This one has a lot of intrigue, but I just don't like the Shaw series as well as the Camel Club series. It's still a good book with a lot of twists and turns. I can only hope that nazi and stalin criminals would suffer that same fate as the characters in this book. "
— Pat, 6/13/2012 -
" Finally finished this book, had to renew it three times cause I was working on others at the same time. So happy the bad guy got it in the end. "
— Heather, 4/30/2012 -
" Good book - a medium David Balducci book. Where I normally can't wait for the next Baldacci book- this one did not leave me with that feeling. "
— Dawn, 1/4/2012 -
" Nothing special. Just one of those fast reads that are really entertaining as you're reading, but easily forgotten after. "
— Bekah, 1/3/2012 -
" Over-the-top characters and unconceivable actions, but new character - Regina "Reggie" Campion - makes the read worthwhile. "
— Hapzydeco, 10/26/2011 -
" Another exciting book from David Baldacci!! As always, I enjoyed the story, but I was not too happy with the ending. Perhaps Baldacci will write another book in this series--one that will have a happier ending for Shaw. "
— Carolyn, 7/10/2011 -
" I have read many books by this author most of which I have really enjoyed. This is not one of the best. Baldacci is not good at doing British "aristocratic" spies - should stick to Americans. "
— Robert, 6/27/2011 -
" Not my favorite of his books but still fun to read. The plot was a bit hard to accept but setting that aside I read the book pretty quickly. "
— Lisa, 6/19/2011 -
" Not very good, too much description and the bad guy should have been dealt with in a more timely fashion. "
— Carol, 6/18/2011 -
" Good plot,but it kind of fizzled at the end, as in lots of build-up, ending didn't balance it out. "
— Marianne, 6/14/2011 -
" Not the same as other Baldacci books I've read. Disappointing. "
— Deb, 6/12/2011 -
" This was an easy read. Good for the bus. I didn't like the ending but it was still pretty suspenseful. "
— Trish, 6/11/2011 -
" I listen to David Baldacci's books on MP3 or CD. The narrator is awesome! "
— Leah, 6/8/2011 -
" Another great Baldacci thriller. Feel free to skip the part where the terrorist is tortured. It's very graphic and you don't learn anything of importance to the plot. "
— Don, 6/4/2011 -
" Really good! Better even than book #1 in the series which doesn't often happen. "
— Rosemary, 6/1/2011 -
" Don't think I'll be reading any more Baldacci. "
— Linda, 5/24/2011 -
" Typical Baldacci thriller. His detail about the Evil was a little too vivid at times. "
