Product Description
The bestselling author of Absolute Power and the Winner proves again that he is a superstar in the thriller firmament; Determined to give his family the best of everything, young executive Jason Archer has entered into a deadly game of cat and mouse. He is about to disappear, leaving behind a wife who must sort out his lies from his truths, an air crash investigation team that wants to know why his plane suddenly fell from the sky and a veteran FBI agent who wants to know it all. Soon the startling truth behind Jason Archer's disappearance explodes into a sinister plot with the murder of the country's single most powerful individual. And Archer's wife, Sidney, is plunged straight into the violence that is leaving behind a trail of dead bodies and shocking, exposed secrets.

Format:Paperback
I am thrilled to have come across this book. It relates the story of a normal everyday American couple and their little girl who get entangled in a corrupt conspiracy. The terrific character and plot development make it utterly believable and full of suspence. It is an excellent read.

I originally found David Baldacci as a writer through an Amazon recommendation and I have avidly read all his stuff since. His writes very well, with good flow and imaginative use of personal feeling descriptions. This book is up there with his best. Good strong characters put into traumatic situations where we feel their problems and grief and then share their doubts as they encroach on their psyche. A good plot, not overly complicated but with a lot happening and progressing with the book - and some surprises. Definitely worth reading and worth buying.

Format:Paperback
I have just finished reading this book which although a little slow to get into, soon took me by the scruff of the neck and pushed me through it's pages towards the end. An end which you knew was sure to come but did not no when and indeed how. Should this become a film and they stick to the original plot, it will take the industry(film) by storm. I have read all but 'Saving Faith', which I hope to get hold of soon, and would class David Baldacci as one of my favourite modern day authors. I do hope that there is more of his books in the pipeline.

Another Masterpiece From Mr Baldacci
Initially I found this book a bit hard going, but after the first chapter the action never stops for one moment. I for one could not put it down. Read more

The usual Baldacci throat grabber!
If I said I have all the Baldacci books in print, would that give a clue as to how much I like this author? Read more
