When FBI Agent Atlee Pine’s search to uncover the truth about her twin sister Mercy’s abduction runs afoul of Army CID Agent John Puller’s attempt to arrest a potential drug dealer, the suspense in DAYLIGHT explodes.
After 30 years, Pine identifies a suspect in her sister’s kidnapping and receives permission to spend a few more days following up this lead, accompanied by her assistant Carol Blum. Piecing together bits of information leads Pine to believe Ito Vincenzo is the kidnapper; it seems Pine’s mother is responsible for Ito’s brother going to jail. What Pine doesn’t know: how did Ito find them? Theoretically, witness protection keeps relocations a secret. So now, Pine tracks down Ito’s grandson Tony, who lives in the old family home.
Pine knocks on the front door after a neighbor shares that Tony is home. Hearing Tony rabbit out the back, Pine chases and collides with a man, both now holding weapons. The two know each other as Puller admits he is here to arrest Tony. Seems Tony, who gets away, is part of a drug ring operating out of Fort Dix, where he works in the motor pool.
Next, Pine visits Teddy, in prison for burglary, to find he wants a deal to share information with her before her interview is suddenly and rudely terminated. Puller attempts to interview Teddy, only to be blocked by a Department of Prisons official. Pine and Puller meet to discuss their lack of progress over dinner. Leaving the restaurant, fellow CID Agent Ed McElroy suffers a bullet in the back as he approaches his two colleagues. Local authorities stonewall Puller’s attempts to investigate McElroy’s death, denying him any access to evidence. Then Pine and Puller hear that an inmate kills Teddy.
These are only a few highlights of David Baldacci’s newest thriller, DAYLIGHT, a complex, multi-layered adventure that pulls Pine’s kidnapping case into the same web of conspiracy that permeates state and federal government officials, CEO’s, judges, bureaucrats, cops, and intel agents. And beginning with Chapter 70, the revelations regarding Mercy’s kidnapping will have readers’ hearts pounding. A consummate thriller master, Baldacci writes an unforgettable story.
