Long Road to Mercy by David Baldacci is the first book in
the Atlee Pine mystery/thriller series. Pine if an FBI agent in the Southwest.
She became an agent with the idea that it would help her eventually find out
what happened to her twin sister Mercy, who was kidnapped when they were six.
Her life has been devoted to getting strong and smart to make up for not being
able to save Mercy.
Atlee Pine does not like crowds. In fact, she has gotten herself
assigned to a one-agent FBI office at the edge of the Grand Canyon. The only
person she works with is her secretary Carol Blum.
When a man disappears from a Canyon mule expedition, Pine is called to
investigate. Little does she know that this man is the key to an international
conspiracy to usurp the pecking order of global leaders. All she knows at first
is someone gut a donkey and the man who is missing is either a sick bastard or
was kidnapped.
Baldacci has written a book that crosses many genres: mystery,
thriller, suspense and espionage. Atlee Pine is a focused, strong character who
is understandably obsessed with finding her sister. His books are always great
for a fast, thrilling read.
