About this ebook

FBI Agent Atlee Pine’s harrowing search for her long-lost sister Mercy reaches a boiling point in this breakneck thriller from #1 New York Times bestselling author David Baldacci. 
 
For her entire life, FBI agent Atlee Pine has been searching for her twin sister, Mercy, who was abducted at the age of six and never seen again. Mercy’s disappearance left behind a damaged family that later shattered beyond repair when Atlee’s parents inexplicably abandoned her.
 
Now, after a perilous investigation that nearly proved fatal, Atlee has finally discovered not only the reason behind her parents’ abandonment and Mercy’s kidnapping, but also the most promising breakthrough yet: proof that Mercy survived her abduction and then escaped her captors many years ago. 
 
Though Atlee is tantalizingly close to her family at last, the final leg of her long road to Mercy will be the most treacherous yet. Mercy left at least one dead body behind before fleeing her captors years before. Atlee has no idea if her sister is still alive, and if so, how she has been surviving all this time. When the truth is finally revealed, Atlee Pine will face the greatest danger yet, and it may well cost her everything.

Ratings and reviews

Wow! This book picks up with Atlee's search for her missing twin sister. The trail is obscured and filled with twists and turns that had me flipping pages just as quickly as possible. I was totally engrossed in the story and stayed up way too late reading. This is a satisfying conclusion to the series and fully resolves the mysteries. I really liked the characters and hope the author finds a way to include them in future novels. Fans of the genre will love this one! While this is part of a series, this is a stand alone novel, however, it's so good that you really owe it to yourself to read them all. The author is on my must read authors' list.

Good story line but it got pretty predictable asit went on. I was happy that the sisters found each other, though!!

Love Baldacci's writing and this was a superb wrap to the Atlee Pine search for her sister, Mercy. I waited for each new book wondering, "Is this the one when she finds Mercy?" I do hope he continues with Atlee Pine (and Carol Blum)as characters in future books. They're a great pair.
