book review written by and read out live on bookshow by Brian Lowen 23rd Oct 2014
Another really
good thriller from David Baldacci.
The hero of the
story is Will Robie who is a professional assassin and is given targets for
elimination by the American Secret Service.
His latest mission
goes wrong when he fails to kill a young mother and her baby – he feels that is
too much to stomach. This leads to him being on the run and then he gets
involved with a bunch of Asians who are out to get the President.
He rescues a 14
year old girl from a bus just before it blows up. Julie is a very bright kid
and Will agrees to help her find the people who murdered her parents.
This is when the
story starts to get rather complicated, but the action still keeps going. Will
also becomes involved with a female FBI agent – Nicole Vance, which further
complicates the story. Will becomes very friendly with Annie Lambert, an office
worker at the White House, who lives in the same apartment block as he does,
which adds further complications.
The story branches
off into other sub plots but all finally comes together in a dramatic
conclusion inside the White House during a Presidential reception.
A good fast paced
thriller with a complicated story line, but keeps up the standard of his
previous books.
