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.

One of the best thrillers I have ever listened to!

This book is wonderful! It has every element that I look for in a book : characters you can fall in love with, a plot with twists and turns that makes you want to never stop listening, great dialogue, believable details, and a great narrator. I can't believe I waited so long to try this series!

ANOTHER FANTASTIC BOOK BY DAVID BALDACCI

This is the 2nd book that I've listened to by David Baldacci, and it's a fantastic listen. The character, Will Robie is a trained assassin, and when his task is to eliminate another trained assassin, the book takes an unusual turn which will leave you interested in listening from the beginning to the end. I highly recommend this book.

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!

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.
