Introducing a remarkable new character from #1 New York Times bestselling writer David Baldacci: Atlee Pine, an FBI agent with special skills assigned to the remote wilds of the southwestern United States who must confront a new threat . . . and an old nightmare.
Eeny, meeny, miny, moe. Catch a tiger by its toe.
It's seared into Atlee Pine's memory: the kidnapper's chilling rhyme as he chose between six-year-old Atlee and her twin sister, Mercy. Mercy was taken. Atlee was spared.
She never saw Mercy again.
Three decades after that terrifying night, Atlee Pine works for the FBI. She's the lone agent assigned to the Shattered Rock, Arizona resident agency, which is responsible for protecting the Grand Canyon.
So when one of the Grand Canyon's mules is found stabbed to death at the bottom of the canyon-and its rider missing-Pine is called in to investigate. It soon seems clear the lost tourist had something more clandestine than sightseeing in mind. But just as Pine begins to put together clues pointing to a terrifying plot, she's abruptly called off the case.
If she disobeys direct orders by continuing to search for the missing man, it will mean the end of her career. But unless Pine keeps working the case and discovers the truth, it could spell the very end of democracy in America as we know it...

      David Baldacci introduces a new thriller series with two narrators, Brittany Pressley and Kyf Brewer. Pressley breathes life into Atlee Pine, a self-reliant FBI special agent based in a one-person office in Arizona. With crisp diction and a hint of distrust, Pressley captures the underlying bitterness Pine has carried since her twin sister was abducted as a child. Untangling a strange disappearance in the Grand Canyon, Pine forges a new reliance on her stalwart office assistant; Pressley does well at distinguishing between the two women in their many conversations. Brewer portrays the quick-thinking male protagonist with a slightly goofy tone that fails to match his heroic actions, making the soldier turned park ranger lack credibility. Nonetheless, the choice of two narrators helps to ground the multiple storylines. N.M.C. © AudioFile 2018, Portland, Maine
