Synopses & Reviews
David Baldacci — the #1 bestselling author of
The Whole Truth and
First Family — returns with his most surprising, heart-stopping, and timely thriller to date...
Deliver Us from Evil
Evan Waller is a monster. He has built a fortune from his willingness to buy and sell anything... and anyone. In search of new opportunities, Waller has just begun a new business venture: one that could lead to millions of deaths all over the globe.
On Waller's trail is Shaw, the mysterious operative from The Whole Truth, who must prevent Waller from closing his latest deal. Shaw's one chance to bring him down will come in the most unlikely of places: a serene, bucolic village in Provence.
But Waller's depravity and ruthlessness go deeper than Shaw knows. And now, there is someone else pursuing Waller in Provence — Reggie Campion, an agent for a secret vigilante group headquartered in a musty old English estate — and she has an agenda of her own.
Hunting the same man and unaware of each other's mission, Shaw and Reggie will be caught in a deadly duel of nerve and wits. Hitchcockian in its intimate buildup of suspense and filled with the remarkable characters, breathtaking plot turns, and blockbuster finale that are David Baldacci's hallmarks, I>Deliver Us from Evil will be one of the most gripping thrillers of the year.
Review
"Mr. Baldacci has trod this genre's road many times but somehow manages to find something fresh to give readers.... His fans won't be disappointed here. He has delivered what he's promised." Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
Review
"[F]ull marks go to Baldacci for pulling off an especially difficult type of story — one in which neither of the central characters knows entirely whats going on, while the reader is omniscient." Booklist
Review
"The characters are paper thin, the plot twists mostly telegraphed, but the betting here is that the Baldacci army will once again show the stuff it's made of." Kirkus Reviews

In South America a 96-year-old man of great wealth reads a book late one night and an hour later he lies dead in his bed, the secrets of his past starkly revealed.
