#3 of 4 books by Baldacci featuring FBI agent Atlee Pine. John Puller – one of Baldacci’s biggest heroes – is also featured.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a book with two interwoven and interrelated plots – Atlee’s search for her twin sister who was violently abducted 30 years before and a mystery involving a fake cop, a young black man who was set up to take a murder rap and, eventually, blackmail involving powerful people. The nexus between Pine and Puller is a combination of the two – Pine thinks a drug dealer (or, more accurately, the drug dealer’s father) is involved in her sister’s abduction and Puller thinks that same drug dealer is involved in the big mystery. They team up. The book ends with resolution of the mystery but only a partial resolution of what happened to Pine’s missing sister.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The intertwined plotlines were often confusing. And keeping track of characters was sometimes daunting. The plots bordered on the absurd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not very satisfying. 5 out of 10. Probably the worse Baldacci book I have read. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
