Publisher Description
As former D.C cop Mace Perry investigates a mysterious high-profile homicide in a last-ditch attempt to get her badge back, she finds herself on a collision course with the dark side of national security in this New York Times bestseller.
Mason "Mace" Perry was a firebrand cop on the D.C. police force until she was kidnapped and framed for a crime -- and then spent two years in prison. Now she's back on the outside and focused on one mission: to be a cop once more.
Her only shot to be a true blue again is to solve a major case on her own. But even with her police chief sister on her side, she'll have to work in the shadows: A vindictive U.S. attorney will stop at nothing to send Mace back to jail. Enter Roy Kingman . . .
A young D.C. lawyer, Roy meets Mace after the murder of one of the firm's female partners. Soon Roy and Mace are investigating together -- and uncovering surprising secrets from both the private and public sectors of the nation's capital.

“Baldacci has proven his ability to write well-paced thrillers that combine crime and politics in locations ranging from mean streets to opulent mansions.”

" Just couldn't take to this one altho I usually really enjoy his books. For me this read as a run of the mill nothing special storey, unlkie his other books there was no real depth to it.disappointing. "

" A fun, conspiracy plot read. I like how he didn't wrap up the ending all pretty with a bow on top. Much more realistic. "
— Tamara, 4/27/2011 -
" I found this book to be a bit disappointing compared to Baldacci's other efforts. There were flaws in the writing and the story took quite awhile to develop into anything. There was good character development, but sometimes I felt Mace's persona was exaggerated. "
— Alex, 4/16/2011 -
" I enjoyed the book. I thought that it flowed real nice and kept me on the edge of my seat. I thought the author also paid very good attention to detail. I kind of wish that there had been a better twist at the end though. "
— Racquel, 4/16/2011 -
" Not bad. Lots of intrigue. I like it when an author doesn't always feel there needs to be a happy ending. All along I couldn't see where all could work out right and thankfully so did Mr. Baldacci. "
