in this novel. An incident in
Sean’s past has dramatically unanticipated results decades later. Those results involve the President, First
Lady and several children as well as a grieving, revenge and anger filled
father.
Sam Quarry is a larger than life character who inspires
admiration and despair over his state of mind.
The story offers conflicting feelings regarding the lengths a parent
would go to protect a child. Baldacci
successfully crafts a likeable villain.
Likeability which I will note has gotten me some sour
response when I have suggested that likeability impacts my feelings on books. A
likeable characters does not have to be the good guy. If I can’t connect to the characters then the
plot better be truly masterful because for me, the character connection is
paramount.
Baldacci can do it all, provide an exemplary plot and
likeable characters, even the villains.
I highly recommend it.
