Book Synopsis

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The 6:20 Man comes a twisting new psychological thriller in which two women—one a former detective, the other a dangerous con artist—go head-to-head in an electrifying game of cat and mouse.

Mickey Gibson, single mother and former detective, leads a hectic life similar to that of many moms: juggling the demands of her two small children with the tasks of her job working remotely for ProEye, a global investigation company that hunts down wealthy tax and credit cheats.  

When Mickey gets a call from a colleague named Arlene Robinson, she thinks nothing of Arlene’s unusual request for her to go inventory the vacant home of an arms dealer who cheated ProEye’s clients and fled. That is, until she arrives at the mansion to discover a dead body in a secret room—and that nothing is as it seems.   

Not only does the arms dealer not exist but the murder victim turns out to be Harry Langhorne, a man with mob ties who used to be in Witness Protection. What’s more, no one named Arlene Robinson works at ProEye.  

In the blink of an eye, Gibson has become a prime suspect in a murder investigation—and now her job is also on the line until she proves that she was set up. Before long, Gibson is locked in a battle of wits with a brilliant woman with no name, a hidden past, and unknown motives—whose end game is as mysterious as it is deadly.

    I have read a lot of Baldacci’s books but this one is terrible. I stopped 1/3rd of the way. Very schizophrenic and feels like it was written for a dumb reader. Hated it.

    Disjointed story line with a lot of loose ends. Not an easy read like so many of his other books. Easily could of stopped reading halfway thru as the story flow and actions of the characters did not make sense.
  • Unrealistic and frustrating

    If someone was running after you with a knife and there was a police station in front of you but a total stranger says “no run into that dark abandoned building instead ; its safer there” which place would you run to? Yeah its like that.

    I’m a big David Baldacci fan, but this is just an awful book. A tedious plot line with hum-drum characters. Not an exciting read. Pick another mystery.

    I really enjoyed this book. Certainly kept me interested from the very beginning. I have read almost all of his books. This one was different, very interesting and a real plot twister.
