Finally, David Baldacci has recaptured what it was that made him a thrilling suspense writer in Walk the Wire. Amos and Alex are involved in solving a woman's murder because when her prints were run, an alert went off in the FBI. The location is in London, North Dakota, where fracking, the military, and Anabaptists coexist.
Some close calls bring in another team of Baldacci characters into this crossover crime novel. Working together, the two teams unravel much of what is going on but still struggle to solve the mystery of the dead woman. Heavy body count in this novel as someone is trying to keep the good guys from getting to the truth.
I have been a Baldacci fan since Absolute Power in 1996 and have read just about all he has written although the last couple of novels seemed "off the mark."
