The story is not good enough; and the brutality does not help it

Gripping story about two different groups going after the same evil 'monster', meeting casually and not knowing about the other's plans. Couldn't put it down once I started. The torture descriptions are extremely graphic and very disturbing. I had to skip over some, and I have a relatively strong tolerance of written-violence. Story had a bit of romance, but it wasn't distracting from the suspense/thriller aspect.

I have read a substantial number of the nineteen books Baldacci has written (up to and including this one), and I must say, in the category of thrillers, this is his best one yet. I loved it. Although not essential, it helps a great deal (in order to have a full understanding of the characters, Shaw and Katie Jones, to first read Baldacci's The Whole Truth.

I loved this follow up to book 1, it was better than I could have expected. Baldacci never seems to leave any spots or options unturned.

Very well constructed mystery novel, many twists and turns, a throrghly enjoyable, hard to put down read. Baldacci is a masterful writer, I'm a great fan.
