The first chapter of the story grabbed me instantly. However, the rest of the book did not explore that storyline except to use it as a basis for the main character's motivation.
This is the first in the Atlee Pine character series. Atlee is an FBI agent serving in the Grand Canyon area. She is an accomplished agent and is highly motivated to avenge her twin sister's murder when they were only six years old.
Atlee is brought in to investigate a mule's death in the Canyon. The mule has strange markings that are the beginning clues to a very involved plot. With many twists and turns, Baldacci takes us into a sinister plot to overtake our government. Atlee is determined to get to the bottom of this threat, but has to do it without support from her regional supervisor who has told her she needs to take an extended vacation. He has decided his agent, Atlee, is over the top in her suspicions.
Atlee's sister's murder will be solved in a sequel. It was only a minor introduction in this book.
