What begins as a fairly routine homicide investigation quickly turns into something complex, diabolical, and possibly lethal in a stand alone thriller from #1 New York Times bestselling author David Baldacci.

Mason “Mace” Perry was a firebrand cop on the D.C. police force working gang narcotics until she was kidnapped and framed for a crime. She lost everything—her job, her career, her liberty—and spent two years in prison. Now back on the outside, Mace tries to rebuild her life, and track down the ones who set her up. But even with her police chief sister on her side, she has to work in the shadows: there’s a vindictive U.S. attorney looking for any reason to send her back behind bars. Then Roy Kingman enters her life. Roy Kingman is a young lawyer who aided the poor until he took a high-paying job at a law firm in Washington. Mace and Roy meet after he discovers the dead body of female partner at the firm. Their investigation into the lawyer’s death reveals dark secrets and takes unexpected turns through both the private and public world of the nation’s capital.

David Baldacci is the author of seventeen consecutive New York Times bestsellers: Absolute Power, Total Control, The Winner, The Simple Truth, Saving Faith, Wish You Well, Last Man Standing, The Christmas Train, Split Second, Hour Game, The Camel Club, The Collectors, Simple Genius, Stone Cold, The Whole Truth, Divine Justice, and First Family. With nearly 80 million books in print worldwide, Baldacci is one of the world’s most prolific novelists. In 2006, his family literacy charity, The Wish You Well Foundation, partnered with America’s Second Harvest, now named Feeding America, the largest domestic hunger-relief organization in the U.S., to donate books to families in need. The joint initiative is called “Feeding Body and Mind.”
