Seven seconds. That's all it took for Web London to lose everything: his friends, his team, his reputation. Point man of the FBI's super-elite Hostage rescue Team, Web roared into a blind alley towards a drug leader's lair, only to meet a high-tech, custom-designed ambush that killed everyone around him. Coping with the blame-filled words of anguished widows and the suspicions of colleagues, Web tries to put his life back together. To do so, he must discover why he was the one man who lived through the ambush - and find the only other person who came out of the alley alive ...a ten-year-old boy who has since disappeared. Acting on his instincts, Web believes he knows where the killer will strike next. Only this time, he may not survive the attack. In this extraordinary work, Baldacci uses his unsurpassed storytelling skills to explore the essence of survival itself, as a conspiracy of violence surrounds an FBI agent whose fate was to be the ..."Last Man Standing".

Less than twenty-four hours later, she is fighting for her life and running from a false murder charge. Jackson's offer - and its condition that she leave the country forever - seems her only hope. However, ten years later, LuAnn secretly returns to the United States to begin a new life with Matthew Riggs, a man whose origins are as murky as her own. But a canny reporter has picked up her trail, as have the FBI - and Jackson. Matt Riggs is the only person who can help her. But is help what Matt intends or is he too closing in for the kill?

When she turned the page and her gaze flickered over the date on top it was as though the lightning outside had somehow grounded right into her. A billion volts of pain, a shriek of anguish you could actually see, and feel, as it pierced her. Camp David, USA. A birthday party turns into a nightmare when a child is snatched after the celebrations. The First Lady enlists the services of Sean King and Michelle Maxwell to bring the child home safely. But she and King share a past. Years ago he saved her then senator husband from political disaster. And this may not be all that passed between them. With Michelle still battling her own demons, the two are pushed to the limit, with forces aligned on all sides against them - and the line between friend and foe impossible to define . . . or defend.

Mason 'Mace' Perry was a maverick cop on the DC 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 he'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.

After alleged serial killer Edgar Roy is apprehended and locked away in a psychiatric unit, private investigators Sean King and Michelle Maxwell are called in by Roy's lawyer - an old friend of Sean King - to look into the case.

But the more they dig into his past, the more they are bombarded with obstacles, half-truths, and dead ends that make filtering the facts nearly impossible.

Amerika összes bűnüldöző szerve Oliver Stone (vagy ha úgy tetszik, John Carr) nyomát keresi. Kétszer húzta meg a ravaszt, és az a két ember, aki annyi évvel azelőtt tönkretette az életét, többé nem árthat neki. Ezért a szabadságért azonban nagy árat kénytelen fizetni, mert nemcsak hogy nincs olyan szeglete az országnak, ahol biztonságban érezhetné magát, de a színfalak mögött, a katonai hírszerzésnél egy magas rangú illető elérkezettnek látja rá az időt, hogy leszámoljon vele. Ennek az illetőnek személyes oka van a bosszúra, és egy vérbeli profit küld Stone után. Stone eközben az események szerencsétlen láncolata folytán egy álmosnak látszó bányászvárosban köt ki. Nyugta azonban ott sincs, mert egyre-másra különös dolgok és rejtélyes halál esetek történnek, és ráébred, hogy egy kisvárosban pontosan olyan halálos és sötét üzelmek folyhatnak, mint a washingtoni törvényhozás berkeiben. Sőt nagyon úgy fest a helyzet, hogy ezúttal olyan csapdába került, amelyből élve nem szabadulhat, hacsak nem siet a segítségére a tiszteletbeli tagokkal megerősített Teve Klub. A Teve Klub-sorozat negyedik kötete ugyanolyan borzongató izgalmakat, fordulatos cselekményt és nagyszerű szórakozást ígér, mint David Baldacci összes többi thrillere. Rajongói ezúttal sem fognak csalódni, aki pedig most ismerkedik meg vele, a következő Teve Klub-könyvet, az Isteni igazság folytatását már rajongóként fogja kézbe venni.
