Once, when I picked up a book from the local library, the librarian asked to tell her what I thought about the book when I would bring it back. Well, why not write a few lines about all the books I read so everybody could see what I thought about it? I'm often also happy to have friends recommend a certain book or tell me this and that is not really worth reading. I won't comment about the tons of books I have read so far, but about books I read from now on.

The bullet was destined to silence Faith Lockhart and if the FBI agent with her dies by one and the same bullet too, so be it. Collateral damage. However, it definitely never was planned for Faith to survive and even less so for her to get away.
To lose one of their own men does not go down well with the FBI and of course they put a lot of effort into finding out what this is all about. Not too easy if your unknown enemy is another resourceful government agency working undercover.
The story has and is told from three, or more precisely, even four angles: the view of the FBI, of Robert Thornhill, of Danny Buchanan and of course the view of Faith, who is on the run and wanted by at least two agencies; by one preferably alive, by the other rather dead. What's refreshing compared to some other book in this genre is the fact, that the story does not need too many unexpected happenings or very close shaves and is still very interesting to read. And typical Baldacci: well planned right from the start.
