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.

"I think the reason I enjoy reading his books so much is because he writes entertaining mysteries without too much unnecessary stuff. I never feel tempted to skim pages to keep the story moving. This one was a great fast read."

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.”

  • “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.”
