Product Description

Review

"Forget Fifty Shades of Grey--the page-turner of the season is The Innocent by David Baldacci...The reader wants for nothing: there are car chases and shootouts, snipers and moles, safe houses and digestible bio-transmitters...The tale starts at a blistering rate and accelerates through 100 short action-packed chapters...this is Baldacci back at his best."-- The Times (London)

Review

"A complex puzzle . . . Baldacci is a master craftsman."-- Associated Press on The Sixth Man

5.0 out of 5 stars Murders and Innocent Bystanders 28 April 2012
By ACB (swansea) TOP 50 REVIEWER
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
David Baldacci has written a superb action packed thriller. Will Robie is employed by a US government agency as a hit-killer. He has killed many with ruthless meticulous military style preparation on the orders of his superiors who perceive threats to US on a global basis or merely see people or situations as problems. A muscular rock-solid intelligent assassin turning 40,he had recently killed a heroin supplier (Rivera) in Edinburgh along with his bodyguards intent on raising finances to plan a military coup in Mexico, a potential threat to America. His next mission was the killing of Saudi Prince Talal in Tangier who had abducted and murdered US servicemen and was a threat to the West. He returns to Washington.

No mission for 3 months until instructed to kill a woman in her 30's with 2 children. Robie finds she is a government agent and told she is part of a terrorist organisation. After breaking into her apartment he finds her in bed with her 3 year old son. Conscience kicks in and despite the angry insistence of his handler to kill them both, Robie cannot. The situation is resolved when a single shot from a long range sniper kills both. Robie realises he is probably the next target and puts plan B into action and makes a run for it.

Meanwhile, we are introduced to a 14 year old smart and intelligent precocious 14 year old Julie Getty, in and out of foster care because of her parents' drug problems from which they are trying to recover. Julie loves her parents, escapes from the current negligent foster carers and heads back home. Unfortunately, she enounters an argument between a man and her father. Her parents are both shot dead. Julie witnesses the killer and realises she is in danger and needs to escape and goes on the run.... Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 stars The innocence of life in a world of evil people 27 April 2012
By Paul Chana
Format:Kindle Edition
I can picture this story as a blockbuster. This is one of the best Baldacci story I have read for a while. He showed his mastery again in scene-setting and did a great job with visual imagination. The role of Robie in all his interactions and the other characters in the novel show characterization came out well.The character of Robie reminds me of Gavin in the thriller Triple Agent, Double Cross, who like Robie is in great shape but equally rugged and soft inside. Complicated though Robie is, his purpose is good. And since he is someone crosses the paths of evil people, the circumstances he finds himself in make him the hero he can not shy away from becoming in order to survive and stop the bad guys. In short, The Innocent is a story to read.

1.0 out of 5 stars Expected Better 21 Feb 2013
By lancelane
Format:Kindle Edition
The start of the book was promising but then it just goes downhill. I think the author has been watching too much of the tv series 24hrs. I found the book totally unrealistic & the end was very poor, pointless read. The author is clearly a good writer but needs to stop falling into the " I do not have an decent ending trap" so lets use the anti middle eastern bad guy theme

3.0 out of 5 stars Concentrate on your endings..... 12 Jun 2012
By A. F. Prestwich
Format:Hardcover
I really enjoyed this book, for four fifths of it that is and then we reach the climax and the wheels came off. It was fast paced, slightly unususal insomuch as there was a trained hitman and a young girl to protect and you glossed over the number of attempts to kill one or the other but the ending, what a disaster. Surely, after writing 400+ pages you can end a book better. At first I thought he was lining up a sequel but no, there was an absurd ending that detracted from the rest of the book and left one wondering, as so often happens with authors lately, was David Baldacci thinking 'film script'?
