'Baldacci is the master' – Jeffrey Archer
The first instalment in a heart-pounding series featuring FBI Special Agent Atlee Pine. From David Baldacci, international number one bestselling author of The 6:20 Man.
Escaping a monster is her past. Catching a killer is her present.
FBI Special Agent Atlee Pine joined the FBI to hunt down killers. Assigned to the remote wilds of the Western United States, she has spent years honing her skills and building her endurance, always with one eye on the ultimate goal . . .
Atlee’s twin sister, Mercy, was abducted from their bedroom thirty years ago, and Atlee has spent every day since wondering what happened to her. The prime suspect, notorious serial killer Daniel James Tor, is in a high-security prison. But with no confession, Atlee continues to search for her sister, even as Tor taunts her from jail.
Now, Atlee Pine is tasked with an investigation which begins with a slaughtered animal and a missing person in the Grand Canyon. But as the case unravels, Atlee draws the attention of the FBI's elite National Security Branch – and soon she is in the crosshairs of a sinister, far-reaching conspiracy . . .
Long Road to Mercy is the first book in the Atlee Pine series. The action continues in A Minute to Midnight.
