Atlee Pine worked to find her twin sister uncovered deceit, lies, coverups, mobsters, and moles. The story concludes with Atlee Pine and Carol Blum together in search of Mercy. Four stars were given to this book review. One wants to read the next book in hopes of finding the truth. Daylight is the third installment in David Baldacci's Atlee Pine series and crosses over with his John Puller series, where it is the fifth installment. In this novel, FBI special agent Atlee Pine sets out to find her sister Mercy who was abducted when both were still children and has not been found ever since. Pine follows a lead that takes her to Trenton, New Jersey, where her path crosses with that of John Puller, an army CID agent, who wants to arrest Tony Vincenzo, the same man that could shed some light on what happened to Pine's sister all those years ago. The two team up to solve the drug case Puller is investigating as well as to find out more about Mercy Pine's abduction and fate. In the process they get close to uncovering a large blackmail scandal that involves high-ranking members of the government, among others. So there are powerful people with a good reason to stop the investigation. I liked the novel a lot and it did actually not take me very long to finish, despite it having more than 500 pages. The action is fast-paced and the story is gripping. As a reader of the whole series I have really come to like the characters. I would, however, not recommend this book if you have not yet read the previous novels in the series. Technically, it could probably be read on its own, but it would just be too much background knowledge you would not have. 4 stars. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
Gehört zur ReiheAtlee Pine (3)
For many long years, Atlee Pine was tormented by uncertainty after her twin sister, Mercy, was abducted at the age of six and never seen again. Now, just as Atlee is pressured to end her investigation into Mercy's disappearance, she finally gets her most promising breakthrough yet: the identity of her sister's kidnapper, Ito Vincenzo. With time running out, Atlee and her assistant Carol Blum race to Vincenzo's last known location in Trenton, New Jersey -- and unknowingly stumble straight into John Puller's case, blowing his arrest during a drug ring investigation involving a military installation. Stunningly, Pine and Puller's joint investigation uncovers a connection between Vincenzo's family and a breathtaking scheme that strikes at the very heart of global democracy. Peeling back the layers of deceit, lies and cover-ups, Atlee finally discovers the truth about what happened to Mercy. And that truth will shock Pine to her very core.
