WOW- True Blue has got to be one of my TOP FIVE books of the year!I've always liked David Baldacci's books, but this one, this one is supreme in its genre! the book is SO realistic it's downright scary. I've sent my life around cops- the lingo, the feel, the attitudes, EVERYTHING is 100% authentic. BUT, it's still highly readable by anyone, because Baldacci does a great job of explaining the whats and whys behind their world!
I wish it was releasing sooner than its October 27th release date because I can't wait for everybody who loves a GREAT mystery to read it! You will get through this book in 1-2 days, guaranteed!
The story follows Mason "Mace" Perry, who was a kidnapped and framed for a crime. She was a top cop on the Washington D.C. police force and she was sent to jail, loosing everything she held dear-her badge, her career, her freedom. She spent two years in prison and the book starts with her release and her relationship with her sister, who happens to be the Police Chief of D.C. mace is intent on one mission: to get back on the force and exonerate herself in the process. She sees her only way to get back on the force is to solve a major case on her own, and prove that she has the right to wear the uniform again. But even with her police chief sister on her side, she has to work in the shadows: the vindictive U.S. attorney, who put her behind bars, and hates her sister, is looking for any reason to send Mace back, and to ruin her sister's career.
When Mace shadows her sister one night she meets Roy Kingman, a young lawyer at a high-paying job at a law firm in Washington, who is the witness/complainant on a crime that mace's sister is investigating. Mace and Roy soon link up and they investigate the death at Roy's firm. They soon start uncovering surprising secrets, from both the private and public world of the nation's capital. The fairly routine homicide soon takes a terrifying and unexpected turn-into something complex, diabolical, and possibly lethal mystery.
True Blue is a great ride- no questions are left unanswered, you walk away feeling fully satisfied and happy with the book!
