Publisher's summary

As former D.C cop Mace Perry investigates a mysterious high-profile homicide in a last-ditch attempt to get her badge back, she finds herself on a collision course with the dark side of national security in this New York Times best seller.

Mason "Mace" Perry was a firebrand cop on the D.C. police force until she was kidnapped and framed for a crime - and then spent two years in prison. Now she's back on the outside and focused on one mission: to be a cop once more. Her only shot to be a true blue again is to solve a major case on her own. But even with her police chief sister on her side, she'll have to work in the shadows: A vindictive U.S. attorney will stop at nothing to send Mace back to jail. Enter Roy Kingman....

A young D.C. lawyer, Roy meets Mace after the murder of one of the firm's female partners. Soon Roy and Mace are investigating together - and uncovering surprising secrets from both the private and public sectors of the nation's capital.

Characters you love! High adrenaline.

My third book by this author and I’m becoming a big fan. Enjoy his elaborate plot lines, character development, pacing, and intimate knowledge of the many topics he tackles. Always heart thumping, except when heart melting. Performance is solid…though would enjoy a female voice for female roles. Male Voices are well done.

political Intrigued

like the character of Mase and her progress of trying to get her police job back

Fun story very well performed

Great Narrator. A Classic David Baldacci story line. I have nothing more to say I could listen to Ron McLardy all day

Loved it! Hope to hear more from the Perrys!

I don't understand the mixed reviews for this one. I have listened to most of Baldacci's works, and I am a big fan. I thought this was one of his best. I did not the many twists coming, and I thought the characters were great. The only thing I can think of that might make this better is a different narrator - NOT because of Ron McClarty - he's great, and I love him in the Camel Club series. Since two of the main characters are female, perhaps his narration for them seems incongruent. There are still some questions I would love to have answered, and I hope there will be more. For me, this is DEFINITELY credit-worthy.

OMG loved th is book

I love David Baldacci's books but this has to be one of my favorites. Some of the characters were funny inbound myself constantly chuckling. READ THIS BOOK!!!!!

Another good one

Ron M voice is so distinguished while listening he moves seamlessly between characters. make a you want more when it's done.

always love Baldachi

great story and a wonderful performance by the reader. I thought I had every Baldachi book, but was thrilled to have found this more for my latest road trip.

Another Excellent BALDACCI Thriller

David Baldacci never fails to deliver intrigue, drama, and suspense ... with little plot twists that divert the attention from the real action until just the right moment.

Brilliant.

As a blind reader, the performance of an audio book is even more important to me than the writing. A mediocre story, told with energy and flair, can still hold one's attention. A great story, read by someone with poor phrasing, mispronunciation, and flat affect, is dealt a death blow long before "the plot thickens."

Ron McLarty brings each character of this book - and all the Badacci stories- to life! His feel for each character - the timing, vocal nuances. and timbre - paints a mental image of a person rather than a character. (I missed hearing Me. Cassidy performing the female characters, if I'm honest. But that in no way minimizes Mr. McLarty's performance in " True Blue")

Excellent story. Excellent performance.

Not his Bladacci's best effort

This book is ok, not great as I have come to expect from Baldacci. The plot was a little predictable however still fairly enjoyable to listen to as the time passes when stuck in traffic.

needs dual narration

needs dual narration for male female voices. the rest of this is because the darn app says I have to have 15 characters to submit. apparently audible wants long winded reviews
