Long Road to Mercy by David Baldacci

A brand new hero!

Much thanks to my bride for introducing me to the latest hero put forth by David Baldacci, Atlee Pine. She bought not only LONG ROAD TO MERCY but also A MINUTE TO MIDNIGHT for my birthday.

Atlee lost her twin sister to a serial killer while still a child. This has shaped her and is the main reason she is an FBI agent today. Fast forward, twenty years, Atlee is a former Olympian weight lifter who prefers working in less bureaucratic offices. In Charge of a residential office in Arizonian that takes in the Grand Canyon, she had built strong relationships with the locals.

A missing tourist and a mutilated mule is all it takes to start one of the wildest investigations that Atlee has ever been involved in. The entire fate of the world as we know it hangs in the balance if she cannot dodge Russian, North Korean and American rouge agents in a scheme for world dominance.

The pages keep flying and I can’t wait to sink my teeth in the sequel to this great new character.
