My Thoughts

This book gave me action/adventure feels, even though it was a thriller. I really enjoyed it….until the cliffhanger. I didn’t feel enough of the plot was resolved in book 1 and that is VERY frustrating to me. I guess that means the book was good.

I loved the main character transformation. I thought it was going to be cheesy, but it was very believable. I loved the characters of this book, they were all well fleshed out.

THE ENDING! I need more of a climax/denouement. It really didn’t feel like this had one.

I usually don’t enjoy more than one or two narrators, but I really like how this was done. Overall I really enjoyed this book, but I felt very unresolved at the end.

Description

When Walter Nash is recruited by the FBI to help bring down a global crime network his life is turned completely upside down in this thriller from #1 New York Times bestselling author David Baldacci.

Nash is an intelligent man, tough but fair-minded. He has a wife and a daughter and a very high-level position at Sybaritic Investments, where his innate skills and dogged tenacity have carried him to the top of the pyramid in his business career. Despite never going on grand adventures, and always working too many hours, he has a happy and upscale life with his family.

However, following his estranged Vietnam-veteran father’s funeral, Nash is unexpectedly approached by the FBI in the middle of the night. They have an important request: become their inside man to expose an enterprise that is laundering large sums of money through Sybaritic. At the top of this illegal operation is Victoria Steers, an international criminal mastermind that the FBI has been trying to bring down for years.

Nash has little choice but to accept the FBI’s demands and try to bring Steers and her partners to justice. But when Steers discovers that Nash is working with the FBI, she turns the tables on him in a way he never could have contemplated. And that forces Nash to take the ultimate step both to survive and to take his revenge: He must become the exact opposite of who he has always been.
And even that may not be enough.
