Summary

From the Sunday Times number one best-selling author

Will Robie, from The Innocent and The Hit, returns in his toughest mission to date. A time to kill - or a time to die?

The mission is to enter one of the most dangerous countries in the world. The target is one of the toughest to reach. The result could be momentous - or it could be Armageddon. There is no margin for error.

US government operatives Will Robie and Jessica Reel have to prove they are still the best team there is. But are they invincible when pitted against an agent whose training has been under conditions where most would perish?

An old man is dying in an Alabama prison hospital, it seems there is one more evil game he has still to play. And it's a game which comes close to home for Reel and Robie. But this time the stakes might be way too high.

Great story!

I’ve really enjoyed being a part of the Robbie and Reel story, watching the character development! This story was action from the word go and had you guessing what would become of our hero’s! Amazing author, great stories!

This hit the target for me

This is the third in this series that I’ve listened to. I really enjoyed it because it wasn’t overly complicated with code names as book 2 was. It was as good as book one in my opinion. Great narration again. Looking forward to the next one!

Another great Baldacci book

I am really enjoying this series of books. As usual Baldacci develops the characters back stories well and weave them into the main plot.

Another brilliant story by Baldacci. Don't miss it

Had I only found this action packed, heart warming story many years ago. Perfectly written and narrated. One novel never to miss listening to. Definitely 5 star plus. Don't miss listening to this great story. You won't be sorry.

Lots of preamble

The listener had to wade through a lot of preamble before getting to the heart of the matter. Not used to this from an action writer and found it hard going but worth it in the end. Heavy on the stereotypes.
