SAVING FAITH by David Baldacci - SIGNED BOOK - ADVANCE READING COPYSee all titles by David Baldacci.
Saving Faith opens during a meeting of a top-secret cartel
headed by Robert Thornhill, deputy director of the Central Intelligence
Agency. Pursuing his own agenda, Thornhill pushes the group into
arranging the assassination of Faith Lockhart, a Washington lobbyist
who, for reasons revealed later in the novel, threatens his plans. The
group reluctantly agrees to implement Thornhill's plan, even though it
means that an FBI bodyguard must also die. Scheduled to take
place at an FBI safe house, the hit goes wrong due to the timely
intervention of private detective Adam Lee, hired to shadow Faith by
persons unknown. Although the FBI agent is killed, Lee escapes with
Faith, beginning a long, dangerous odyssey that starts in Maryland,
moves to North Carolina, and ends in a Senate conference room in
Washington. Adam and Faith become fugitives, forced to flee from the
police, the FBI, and the CIA. Okay, by now you probably have
several questions, among them: Who is Robert Thornhill, and why does he
want Faith Lockhart dead? Who are the members of the secret cartel, and
what are their goals? What secrets does a lobbyist possess that could
threaten the CIA? Why is her death important enough to sacrifice the
life of an FBI agent? Why was Adam Lee at the cabin that fateful night? Well,
I'd be doing Baldacci and his readers a grave disservice by revealing
the intricacies of his convoluted plot, so you'll get no answers from
this reviewer. I will say, however, that the plot of Saving Faith
ultimately does hang together, making for a gripping read. Like Alfred
Hitchcock, Baldacci loves coincidence. Like the famous director, he
also takes his audience for a hell of a ride, building to a surprising,
satisfying conclusion.
