Number one bestseller Long Road to Mercy is the heart-pounding first novel in the FBI Special Agent Atlee Pine series by international number one bestselling author David Baldacci.

Escaping a monster is her past. Catching a killer is her present . . .

* * * * *

FBI Special Agent Atlee Pine has learnt three lessons in life:

Some wounds never heal.

Atlee’s twin sister, Mercy, was abducted from their bedroom over thirty years ago, and Atlee has spent every day since wondering what happened to her.

Time doesn’t lessen your pain.

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.

But she can always make a difference.

Wracked by survivor’s guilt, Atlee joined the FBI to hunt down killers like Tor. 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.

Now, Atlee Pine is tasked with an investigation which begins with a missing person in the Grand Canyon. And ends with a discovery much more sinister and far-reaching.

The action continues in A Minute to Midnight.

Just Brilliant

DB at his best. Thank you Sir for such great entertainment. How you keep producing such works is a gift from above.

Slow to start with

Long Road to Mercy was very slow to start with. Both story & narrator. Actually, it took me 2 goes at starting before I decided to tentatively commit.

I keep thinking this a David Baldacci book, it will get better. Around 3 hours it started to grab me. From then on, I really enjoyed it. I look forward to the next book in the series about David Baldacci’s newest hero!

Really looking forward to more from Agent Pine

Really well written and refreshing to read about a female, strong hero for a change

Happy Listening

always enjoy authors books lots of.suspense.and.excellent.storyline ..easy listening, well narrated, clear,.consise and well spoken overall

Good fun

Bit slow initially but pace picked up and I enjoyed it.
A few cliches though but with tongue in cheek it was fun

This was a great one

Stakes were high!
Great book, great characters
I hope for more in this series :)
Atlee Pine is a great character

Tag team narrating

The tag team way of narrating the story did my head in. Also I’m not too sure about the purpose or relevance of the side story about Mercy. I loved the strong Main character - but I think this is one book I would have enjoyed more if I’d read it myself.

Ramba

The heroine in this implausible story makes Rambo a weakling. With her around you can conquer all. The story is far fetched and sounds like an anti Trump essay.

Chronic

Contrived story and abysmal narration. Don't bother buying. After the first hour I gave up; the waste of an hour.

Blasphemy

Why use my savior’s name as a swear word? If you respect people’s believes please respect mine too.
