Refusing to stand down, Pine enlists the help of her assistant, Carol Blum, and they begin their own investigation into events, which takes them across the country. Now, the mystery thickens and Pine is called off the case by those back at FBI HQ. Just as Pine locates the missing Priest, she is assaulted and both Priest brothers are abducted by someone on a military chopper.
As Pine begins investigating, she contacts Priest’s brother, who has much too say about Ben. The mule’s been found, gutted and with an odd message carved into its flank. Ben Priest was part of a group travelling through the Canyon by mule, but he has gone missing. When she is called to the Grand Canyon to help with an investigation, she jumps at the opportunity, though is highly confused when she arrives. Pine grew up in Georgia, but moved out West to enjoy the open spaces, as well as some distance from others. Atlee Pine is an agent with the FBI, but her unique backstory and location add new depth to her character.
#DAVID BALDACCI LONG ROAD TO MERCY SERIES#
I approached Baldacci’s latest work with some trepidation, as I am comfortable with the two strong series he actively writes and worry about diluting the quality of his published works.
David Baldacci has been able to do this-without collaborators, I might add-and keeps the stories crisp, while never losing his reading base. There is something to be said for an author who can juggle writing multiple book series at the same time, and even more for those who are able to see these collections continually hit the top of the charts.
