And all the while, Robie and Reel are stalked by a new adversary: an unknown and unlikely assassin, a woman who has trained her entire life to kill, and who has her own list of targets-a list that includes Will Robie and Jessica Reel.ĭavid Baldacci has been writing since childhood, when his mother gave him a lined notebook in which to write down his stories. And they will do anything to see that the two assassins succeed, but that they do not survive.Īs they prepare for their mission, Reel faces a personal crisis that could well lead old enemies right to her doorstep, resurrecting the ghosts of her earlier life and bringing stark danger to all those close to her. They doubt their willingness to follow orders. But there are some in power who don't trust the pair. Together, Robie and Reel's talents as assassins are unmatched.
