Summary:
Mason 'Mace' Perry was a maverick cop on the D.C. police force until she was kidnapped and framed for a crime. She lost everything - her career, her liberty - and spent two years in prison. Now back on the outside, Mace is trying to rebuild her life and track down the people who set her up. But even with her police chief sister at her side, she has to work in the shadows: there's a vindictive US attorney on her tail and she's just looking for a reason to send her back behind bars...Roy Kingman is a young lawyer, still getting used to his high-paid job at a law firm in Washington. When Roy discovers the dead body of a female partner at the firm, his fate becomes entangled with Mace's, as the two team up to investigate. But as their enquiries gather pace, Roy and Mace soon find themselves in unexpected territory; drawn into both the private and public world of the nation's capital, as dark secrets begin to emerge. For what began as a fairly routine homicide investigation will quickly turn into something far more complex. And possibly lethal...
My Thoughts:
Another great story from Baldacci. It didn't take me long to get through this one since I was on the edge of my seat almost the whole time!
I loved Mace and Beth. They have a awesome relationship and cherish their bond as sisters. Always there for each other, but allowed to really tell it like it is. I think they were the reason that I really liked this book. They both have amazing attitudes and Mace's sense of humor often had me laughing out loud. I'd have liked a little more personal background or personal sidestories for Beth, but there was so much going on with Mace that it might not have worked well. I loved that the book was based on two tough females. Beth in a high ranking profession and Mace fighting her way back up from the bottom after a stint in prison.
Roy was an interesting character. At first, I really wasn't sure that I liked him. He seemed way to wimpy and passive. Yet, as the story went on, I decided that he was pretty cool. He stepped up when Mace needed him and stuck by her through this crazy investigation.
I was a little bummed with the ending. There were certain aspects that I'd have liked a little more info on. It's hard to mention which aspects without spoiling the story. Overall, I loved it. It's got the same political undercurrents and cop stuff as some of his other books. While sometimes a turn off for women readers, this one is awesome since the primary characters are women.
