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.

This may be his best work yet! Excellent storyline, great characters, and a wonderful ending, hopefully setting up for sequels.

Interesting

Could not turn off audio. Fell asleep and had to go back about 10 chapters. When listening to the audio, I become one of the main characters and live and enjoy every minute.

2000+ spy novel

I was able to listen to the entire book, which is saying that it remains interesting throughout. I wasn't surprised by the twists, but that's bc spy novel's can't deviate from what they are.

Another outstanding novel

Will Robi and Jessica Reel always leads us through action and suspense. This novel is no exception. You're taken from one edge of your seat drama to another. I thought this book, as usual, was an exceptional experience. Thank you Mr. Baldacci!

Story is good but the sound effects are bad

If you’re coming to listen to an action book keep looking. Due to the all the sound effects and multiple narrators this is more like a podcast/radio show. Totally distracts from the story and the listeners imagination.
