True Blue
by David Baldacci

A mysterious high-profile homicide in the nation's capital collides with the dark side of national security in David Baldacci's new, heart-stopping thriller. TRUE BLUE Mason "Mace" Perry was a firebrand cop on the D.C. police force until she was kidnapped and framed for a crime. She lost everything-her badge, her career, her freedom-and spent two years in prison. Now she's back on the outside and focused on one mission: to be a cop once more. Her only shot to be a true blue again is to solve a major case on her own, and prove she has the right to wear the uniform. But even with her police chief sister on her side, she has to work in the shadows: A vindictive U.S. attorney is looking for any reason to send Mace back behind bars. Then Roy Kingman enters her life. Roy is a young lawyer who aided the poor until he took a high-paying job at a law firm in Washington. Mace and Roy meet after he discovers the dead body of a female partner at the firm. As they investigate the death, they start uncovering surprising secrets from both the private and public world of the nation's capital. Soon, what began as a fairly routine homicide takes a terrifying and unexpected turn-into something complex, diabolical, and possibly lethal.
I have never read anything by David Baldacci before True Blue, so I wasn't sure what to expect. The book did sound great though so I couldn't wait to bury my head inside and get lost in the story. Once I tore through the pages of True Blue I could not put it down. It had me hooked after just the first few pages. I got so wrapped up in Mace's life and rooted for her til the very end. True Blue was such a thrilling story of murder, conspiracy and betrayal. It left me on the edge of my seat through the whole entire book just wondering when this courageous and determine ex cop would finally get popped. If you are into crime murder and suspense as much as I am, this is definitely a book for you. One of the best books I've read for sure!
