Good book. Characters were believable, plot was engaging, and it kept me reading it way past bedtime. Baldacci makes sure you really get what happened at the end, so you aren't left feeling unsatisfied.

This is the first David Baldacci novel I read and I was hooked!! His stories keep you involved from the very first page and you don't want to put it down until the very last page.
This one involves a woman in protective custody and those who are trying to find her and those who are trying to save her. The ending is perfect....

But no-one is listening - what's in it for them? So he bribes Washington politicians to take notice - until the CIA want in on the illegal strategy. Danny's partner, the tough-minded, independent and fiercely loyal Faith Lockhart senses it's all going to turn bad, so she tells all to the FBI in exchange for her and Danny's immunity. But she doesn't anticipate the ruthlessness of the CIA, a diminished and directionless organisation post-Cold War, who's head is a renegade obsessive and who is determined to take out Faith and anyone remotely connected to her...
