Best-Selling Author David Baldacci
With seventeen New York Times bestselling thrillers under his belt—twelve of them hitting #1—David Baldacci is one of the most popular writers in the world and considered a Washington insider by beltway regulars and countless readers. In TRUE BLUE, he presents a page-turning thriller that features a new cast of characters, as well as a peak inside the DCPD.
“I have been intrigued by the extraordinary uniqueness of the position of the Washington, D.C. police chief for sometime,” Baldacci says. “And I have wanted to explore sibling dynamics in a novel, specifically female sibling dynamics.” The result is the introduction of exciting new heroines, Mace and Beth Perry—sisters who operate on the same side of the law, but often have different means to an end.
When Mason “Mace” Perry, a former D.C. police officer in the narcotics division, is released from prison after being kidnapped and set up, she struggles to rebuild her life and clear her name. Her sister Beth is the brilliant and no-nonsense D.C. Chief of Police investigating the mysterious death of a prominent female attorney.
As Mace works in the shadows to win her badge back, she revisits the scene of her kidnapping, the drug- and gang-infested streets of D.C.’s most dangerous neighborhood. Her inquiries lead her to Roy Kingman, a young lawyer and former criminal defense attorney who also happens to be the person who discovers the body of the lawyer whose death Beth is probing. Pressured by higher forces to bow out of the murder investigation that involves dark secrets and unexpected turns in both the public and private arenas of our nation’s capital, Beth still crosses paths with Roy and collides head on with Mace as the three work towards unraveling the crime.
A breathtaking entry in the Baldacci library and a dynamic sister duo ripe for a series, TRUE BLUE is sure to delight Baldacci’s legion of fans.
