Description
Locked in a battle of nerve and wits, a mysterious intelligence operative and a vigilante agent race against time to take down a greedy businessman bent on destroying millions of lives in this #1 New York Times bestselling thriller.
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 his trail is Shaw, the mysterious operative from The Whole Truth, who has tracked Waller to Provence and must prevent him from closing his latest deal. But someone else is pursuing Waller: 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 nerves 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, Deliver Us From Evil is one of the most gripping thrillers you'll read this year.

4By RusscaccAs a Baldacci fan, I chose the only one I did not have in hardback - have read all his stuff save True Blue (have in hardback but as yet unread).

1By HargowNormally, i finish a book even if it is not too good. With This one, i gave up in the middle. Silly plot, Shallow and unbelievable characters. What a disappointment.Deliver us from Evil
5By ZanneWExcellent book. Baldacci once again creates a cast of characters with a history and leaves us wondering when and/ or how we will see them in future stories.Weak
2By CcaffI have read a lot of Baldacci and this one was not his best work. I thought the plot was good, but it never really went where it could have. And I thought the ending was really weak.Deliver us from evil
5By Waldom5Hard to put downMy first eBook, first Baldacci - Score!
4By PlanetPerezDecided to start with chart-topper #1 for my debut eBook. Good yarn, a real page-swiper and a *great* reading experience. Nice electronic supplementals at the end (tho I am not that fond of alternative endings). About as much character development and literary nuance as one would expect from the genre, comfortably met expectations. Prices need re-thinking ...Baldacci does it again
5By Guerito33Great book.....couldn't put it down. But then again, Baldacci does that to me every time.
