The third volume in the Atlee Pine series. The FBI Special Agent, and her faithful companion Carol Blum, continues her laborious and adventurous search for her twin sister, Mercy, missing since their childhood. This time she teams up with John Puller, another of Baldacci’s most likeable characters, as their paths cross accidentally when pursuing their respective cases, and it all takes off from there…. Action, tension and emotion galore and, yet again, blissfully free of the otherwise de rigueur sex scenes.
