In this gripping mystery, an FBI Agent’s search for her sister clashes with a military investigator's high-stakes case, leading them both deep into a global conspiracy—from which neither of them will escape unscathed.

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.

Do not expect the story line regarding the twin sister to be resolved. I despise when authors manipulate you into waiting for the next book.

One More Chance

Reviewed in the United States on November 23, 2020

So here's the thing: I love the character of Atlee! I also love that Balcacci has some crossover with characters from other series (although I believe a better back story is in order both because folks may have not read the other, and because we'd like to know, how exactly she knows this guy). But still, much of this book is good and typical Balcacci. HOWEVER, at this point I have what some TV watchers might call "The Blacklist Phobia". In other words, I don't want to read a ten book series to find out what happened to this twin and her parents. I'm giving this series one more book (probably from the library next time) nd then I'm over it, as the saying goes. Atlee is a damned good character. Resolve the family issue, and take us back to real crime. Never mind that I cannot imagine a station chief allowing one of his officers (and her admin) to go traipsing around the country at will, indefinitely, so that she can find her family. Just saying.

Looking for a little mercy and finding epstein

Reviewed in the United States on November 29, 2020

David Baldacci's Daylight is the 3rd Atlee Pine offering. Atlee is still on personal leave, following up clues in the search for her twin sister. From the last book, she is on her way to New Jersey to find an aging mobster sibling who was in the vicinity during her sister's kidnapping. She runs into an Army investigation led by John Puller another Baldacci character and they team up, although their investigations are headed in different directions. In the end, she cracks another big case with national security implications and learns more clues about her sister as well as her parents.

The overall plot follows the standard Baldacci style with plenty of plot twists and surprises along the way. While the overall story and its execution is well done, Baldacci is beginning to jump the shark as Atlee stumbles into a major plot unfolding right under everyone's noses, but with total oblivion. At the same time, her family just keeps getting weirder and weirder as her sister is apparently alive, but was raised chained in a cave and her father, rather than having committed suicide, killed his assassin and is supposedly living with her mother off the grid. And her biological father actually knew all of this.

Typically, Baldacci carries a character for about 6 - 7 novels. At this rate, Atlee may be saving the Earth from an alien invasion that was planned by her parents using her sister as bait. Please David, unless they are all hiding out at the bottom of the Grand Canyon, Atlee can't stay on personal leave for another three installments - give the girl some closure.

I have been an ardent admirer of Mr Baldacci s work but alas he has suffered the same fate as other great storytellers such as Stuart Woods and now writes utter drivel. It is a great shame that his imagination has gone and we are left with his vacuous tales. This was the last of his books I will purchase

FBI agent permitted to simply take a leave from her job in 2 successive novels, each time taking along her assistant forr extended periods of time without getting fired?

An FBI agent who twice, in successive books, is looking for her sister and just happens to stumble upon a major crime conspiracy both times and manages to solve both crimes in her spare time while searching for sis?

A 6' Amazon who can demolish a building with martial arts kicks and routinely kicks the crap out of professional villians while leaping tall buildings in a single bound is getting silly.

With the help of a silly cartoon like rah - rah Jack Reacheresqe Army dude who, after being shot in the torso by a high powered rifle, gets out of an ICU bed, travels cross town to join the fight?

I love Baldacci characters in all of his series and even enjoyed the first Pine installment, but the second Pine book was poor and this one simply awful. Note to author - I don't find the Pine character remotely interesting or plausible and worse yet, I don't care if she ever finds her sister. you've gone to the well once to often and I will not be suckered into Pine book 4 .

How about updating us on what the Camel Club is up to these days or any of your other notable (and enjoyable) characters? Put Atlee Pine out of her and our misery .

Another masterpiece in the Atlee Pine series, but . . .

Reviewed in the United States on November 23, 2020

Verified Purchase

I loved the book. It took Atlee Pine out of her comfort zone, and moved her east to join an investigation John Puller. She and her assistant, Carol Blum were pulled off of her investigation of her sister Mercy's disappearance in Andersonville, GA to work with Puller on a case of national importance.

She has discovered the identity of Mercy's kidnapper, and he has a connection to this complicated investigation, as does John Puller's younger brother Robert.

This is one of the most convoluted stories that Baldacci has written in a while, but I couldn't put it down. Since COVID-19 had me homebound, I finished it in a day.

Baldacci may need to have a meeting with his proofreader, though. In the 3rd paragraph on page 204, he states, "A captain in the Navy was of equal rank with a major in the Army..." A Navy captain (06) is of equal rank with an Army colonel. On the 5th paragraph on page 206, Navy captain Gloria Miles states, "I'm waiting to take command of a Freedom-Class LCS..." An LCS is a Littoral Combat Ship, and the Skipper is a Navy commander (05). Nitpicking, maybe, but it jumped right off the page to me.

Very Good

Atlee Pine has been searching for twin sister Mercy ever since she joined the FBI. Hampered by the gaps in her memory caused by the life threatening injuries received during the attack she has struggled for many years to remember what happened on that fateful night. Having finally returned home to try to fill in some of the blanks she now finds herself heading to New Jersey to follow up some promising leads relating to the newly discovered identity of the kidnapper.

With her assistant and loyal friend, Carol Blum, at her side she is shocked to find her case is linked to that of military investigator John Puller through the kidnapper she has only just begun to hunt. Together they realise the connection could strike at the heart of far more than either of them could begin to understand alone and as more information comes to light Atlee finally reaches a shocking realisation of what happened to Mercy all those years ago.

Once again Mr Baldacci has provided a story to keep you reading long into the night. Atlee is a great character and the addition of John Puller is a very clever move as it gives a whole different sense of what has happened and why. Thankfully, although many things have been sorted there is still more to come where Atlee is concerned and I will absolutely be waiting in line for that.

I was able to read an advanced copy of this book thanks to NetGalley and the publishers but the opinions expressed are my own. Anyone who is a fan of this series of books won't be disappointed.

A disappointing offering

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 25, 2020

Verified Purchase

I normally buy Baldacci Books as they are published and this one was no exception, I was expecting the end of a trilogy with the hunt for Mercy coming to a conclusion and the addition of John Puller to the story was an added bonus, as he needs a bit of an airing.

The story is fine as far as it goes pushing the hunt for Mercy along, and the slightly weaker subplot of Political blackmail could have been better used, my main complaint though is the ending!

I had the impression from previous books that there would be a conclusion to the Mercy story soon and perhaps a new opening for Atlee where she fades with her sister into the sunset, but the rushed ending here felt like the author had a 'Ka-ching' moment and has spun the story out for at least another episode, altogether unsatisfying as this character's story arc was, I felt, coming to a natural end. It will be interesting to see how (if) he brings John Puller back after this.

A really good read with a complex plot

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 4, 2021

Verified Purchase

The story continues from two previous Atlee Pine books and comes to a semi conclusion with still some outstanding issues to be resolved. Enough room for another book to finalise it all I guess. I like the female lead Atlee as an FBI agent with a background and some burning issues that make her life difficult at times. The insert of John Puller and his brother from another series by Baldacci is clever and fits well and dovetails nicely into the overall plot which is complex but intriguing. A really good read overall and I await further developments.

A bit disappointing

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 21, 2020

Verified Purchase

For perhaps the first time with Baldacci's books I felt a little underwhelmed. The story runs along well enough - but it felt rushed at the end - meaning that this wasn't the ending to the trilogy that I had expected. It was ok, but not of the quality of most of his previous works. I just felt that it stopped too suddenly, as the writer realised that a 4th book could be added on to the series. Maybe I'm being too harsh, though.

The Weakest of Baldacci' s novels

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 13, 2020

Verified Purchase

Having read all the other novels, this one by comparison feels clunky at the beginning and over complicated throughout the rest of the book. I'm a big fan, but this doesn't even feel like he wrote it. The dialogue at the outset to bring the reader up to speed on previous Pine stories is like the painting by numbers used in cheaply made tv series. Not worth the money or the wait.
