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.

Ted Bergin, a lawyer and old friend of Sean King, asks for Sean's help in the case of Edgar Roy. Roy has been accused of serial killings, but does that warrant for him to be held in one of the country's most secure prisons? There must be more to it. Sean King and his partner Michelle Maxwell soon have confirmation for their gut feeling. But instead of answers, there are only tons of unanswered questions, blocking walls when asking questions and threats to their lives. Even for Sean and Michelle, this is a very tough and very dangerous case. Multiple parties involved, multiple interests and nobody willing to share any information.
There are some highly unlikely angles to this story. If you can ignore those, then the story is typically Baldacci: fast-moving, fascinating and captivating. For a long time, it is not really so clear, who are the bad guys and who are the good guys. Even when you thought you figured it out, some surprises are waiting.
