Introducing a remarkable new character from #1 New York
Times bestselling writer David Baldacci: Atlee Pine, an FBI
agent with special skills assigned to the remote wilds of
the southwestern United States who must confront a new
threat . . . and an old nightmare.
Eeny, meeny, miny, moe. Catch a tiger by its toe.
It's seared into Atlee Pine's memory: the kidnapper's
chilling rhyme as he chose between six-year-old Atlee and
her twin sister, Mercy. Mercy was taken. Atlee was spared.
She never saw Mercy again.
Three decades after that terrifying night, Atlee Pine works
for the FBI. She's the lone agent assigned to the Shattered
Rock, Arizona resident agency, which is responsible for
protecting the Grand Canyon.
So when one of the Grand Canyon's mules is found stabbed to
death at the bottom of the canyon-and its rider missing-Pine
is called in to investigate. It soon seems clear the lost
tourist had something more clandestine than sightseeing in
mind. But just as Pine begins to put together clues pointing
to a terrifying plot, she's abruptly called off the case.
If she disobeys direct orders by continuing to search
for the missing man, it will mean the end of her career. But
unless Pine keeps working the case and discovers the truth,
it could spell the very end of democracy in America as we
know it...
