| Summary, etc.: | Mickey Gibson, single mother and former detective, leads a hectic life similar to that of many moms: juggling the demands of her two small children with the tasks of her job working remotely for ProEye, a global investigation company that hunts down wealthy tax and credit cheats. When Mickey gets a call from a colleague named Arlene Robinson, she thinks nothing of Arlene's unusual request for her to go inventory the vacant home of an arms dealer who cheated ProEye's clients and fled. That is, until she arrives at the mansion to discover a dead body in a secret room--and that nothing is as it seems. Not only does the arms dealer not exist but the murder victim turns out to be Harry Lancaster, a man with mob ties who used to be in Witness Protection. What's more, no one named Arlene Robinson works at ProEye. In the blink of an eye, Gibson has become a prime suspect in a murder investigation--and now her job is also on the line until she proves that she was set up. Before long, Gibson is locked in a battle of wits with a brilliant woman with no name, a hidden past, and unknown motives--whose end game is as mysterious as it is deadly. |

Baldacci's (The 6:20 Man) stand-alone psychological thriller does not disappoint. Former police detective and single mom Mickey Gibson now works for ProEye, a company that uncovers the hidden assets of exceptionally wealthy people who are cheating their creditors. Mickey is contacted by Arlene Robinson, a mysterious woman who claims to also work for ProEye and asks Mickey to go to an absconded arms dealer's mansion and inventory its assets. When Mickey starts photographing the meager contents of the house, however, she discovers a secret room and the dead body of Daniel Pottinger, a former mob accountant. Things go from bad to worse when Mickey realizes that ProEye hasn't heard of Arlene, and that Mickey herself is now a number-one murder suspect. Lisa Flanagan and Corey Carthew team up for an excellent dual narration of this twisted story. Carthew gives voice to secondary male characters, while Flanagan depicts Mickey with an especially adept Southern accent. VERDICT Though the extensive descriptions of psychological trauma occasionally wear thin, patient listeners will enjoy the sparring between Mickey and the unknown person who is determined to destroy her. Baldacci's many fans will be captivated.--Ilka Gordon
