The president knows it’s a perilous, high-risk assignment. If he gives the order, he has the opportunity to take down a global menace, once and for all. If the mission fails, he would face certain impeachment, and the threats against the nation would multiply. So the president turns to the one team that can pull off the impossible: Will Robie and his partner, Jessica Reel.

Together, Robie and Reel’s talents as assassins are unmatched. But there are some in power who don’t trust the pair. They doubt their willingness to follow orders. And they will do anything to see that the two assassins succeed—but that they do not survive.

As they prepare for their mission, Reel faces a personal crisis that could well lead old enemies right to her doorstep, resurrecting the ghosts of her earlier life and bringing stark danger to all those close to her. And all the while, Robie and Reel are stalked by a new adversary: an unknown and unlikely assassin, a woman who has trained her entire life to kill and who has her own list of targets—a list that includes Will Robie and Jessica Reel.

  • “Baldacci picks up where he left off with CIA assassins Will Robie and Jessica Reel in this no-holds-barred tale of perfidy and murder at the highest level…Robie and Reel fans will thrill to see their favorite spies back in action.”

    Kirkus Reviews

  • “Ron McLarty and Orlagh Cassidy are a great team of narrators in this lightning-paced thriller. More exciting adventures and plenty of violence are in store for trained assassins Will Robie and his partner, Jessica Reel, even though some doubt their ability to follow orders. McLarty’s performance is heartfelt and empathetic, and Cassidy’s warm, low voice takes the hard edge off of Jessica’s character. Cassidy’s use of pacing and accents adds both drama and character to the wide variety of other female characters, including North Korean Min, who is ten years old, and her savior, Comrade Yie. Together, the narrators pull the listener into the plot’s many twists and turns. Winner of an AudioFile Earphones Award.”

Listener Opinions

  • 5 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 5 Vickie Watts | 2/18/2018

    " Will Robie is getting extremely addictive! Although Baldacci writes in a series, a person would not be completely lost if they read a book out of order. He does an amazing job discretely writing in flashbacks and explains just enough to jog your memory without overdoing it. Each book, so far, has been a very unique story very action packed to capture your attention. Nice touch with the sound affects! "

  • 2 out of 52 out of 52 out of 52 out of 52 out of 5 Frank | 2/16/2018

    " I don't like the music and special effects. If I wanted gimmicks, I'd watch a movie. It was a distraction to the story. "

  • 2 out of 52 out of 52 out of 52 out of 52 out of 5 Frank | 2/16/2018

    " Good story but hated the music and special effects. The story should hold on it's own. If I wanted special effects and music, I would watch a movie. I hesitate getting another Baldacci audio unless I know there won't be special effects. Can anyone tell me if his other books have this annoying gimmicks? "

  • 5 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 5 RickyR | 11/14/2017

    " highly recommended interesting and exciting fast read "

  • 5 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 5 Chris Hunt | 8/15/2017

    " Yet another story in the Robie series. They just get better and better. The new characters had there own little story and that made the plot so much more interesting. I hope the bleakness of North Korea isn't as bad as the story line, but unfortunately it probably is. Looking forward to listening to the next book in the series. "

  • 5 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 5 Joanne | 6/10/2017

    " Best story and performance ever. Felt as though I was a participant in the stories development "
