Publisher's summary

Audie Award Winner, Thriller/Suspense, 2014

From David Baldacci - number-one best-selling author and one of the world's most popular, widely read storytellers - comes the most thrilling novel of the year.

Will Robie is a master of killing.

A highly skilled assassin, Robie is the man the U.S. government calls on to eliminate the worst of the worst - enemies of the state, monsters committed to harming untold numbers of innocent victims.

No one else can match Robie's talents as a hitman...no one, except Jessica Reel. A fellow assassin, equally professional and dangerous, Reel is every bit as lethal as Robie. And now, she's gone rogue, turning her gun sights on other members of their agency.

To stop one of their own, the government looks again to Will Robie. His mission: bring in Reel, dead or alive. Only a killer can catch another killer, they tell him.

But as Robie pursues Reel, he quickly finds that there is more to her betrayal than meets the eye. Her attacks on the agency conceal a larger threat, a threat that could send shockwaves through the U.S. government and around the world.

Spellbinding!

Couldn't put this book down. Hated to have it end. Twists and turns kept me glued to it.

good read, kept me entertained to the end

good read, kept me entertained the end. a few predictable things, but loaded with the unpredictable as well. Narration of different characters was easy to follow.

Great Book in the Will Robie Series!

I really liked this book and I like the storyline. I like the characters too. If is anything I don't care for......as much as I like Ron McClarty, his voice seems too old to play Will Robie and Orlagh Cassidy's southern accent is just a little too much. They would be good voices for people in leadership in these stories who are a little older.

Good Stuff

Another fine story by Mr Baldacci. I enjoyed the 2nd story of the series more than the first. Started getting used to the sound effects used in the stories although I'm not completely sold yet. My only small critique is Ms Cassidy's three primary female characters sort of sound the same.

Love Dox so enjoyable for me.

Background about Dox. Huge fan of Dox so I really enjoyed it. I do love the stories Mr Baldacci puts all the characters together. This one was Dox . Still entertaining. Worth a credit.

Great listen

Storyline and complexity very satisfying. Male narrator is great, less enamored with the female narrator.

4 Star Work

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

I liked how the characters weaved in and out. I was not surprised of the relationship the leads developed. I thought the addition of the sound effects made the story better as did using two narators.

Have you listened to any of Ron McLarty and Orlagh Cassidy ’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Always pretty well done

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

No to either question but it did keep me interested and I finished it in two days which is unusual for me.

Bacdacci’s best book

This book ranks right at the top of all that I have read in this genre.

Really good!

I liked the story. The characters were very well developed. The pace was even and the plot was engaging. As spy thrillers go this is right up there. Its highly recommended.

Great read

The story of this is great, not to mention the reader does a great job. Easy to follow and get into. Some of the "cliff hangers" are quarky.
