True Blue
by David Baldacci
A heart-stopping thriller and intricate murder mystery from a master storyteller.
In his new book, veteran thriller writer David Baldacci brings us a promising new character, Mace Perry, a tough former Washington cop determined to clear her reputation. Perry has just spent two years serving out a conviction for armed robbery—for which she was framed—and all she wants now that she’s out of prison is “to be a true blue again.” While trying to prove her innocence, Perry stumbles upon a high-profile murder case, which leads her to a dark discovery of secrets in the nation’s capital. Cue the shootouts and car chases! The Richmond Times-Dispatch says True Blue “is an absorbing thriller with a powerful message, but readers are most likely to remember it for its superbly appealing protagonist.” And the Examiner.com is hooked on Perry as well, writing: “There is definitely a sequel—or even a series—with more Mace Perry in store for Baldacci fans.”
