Grand Central Publishing 4/21/2020. New hardcover. in Brand New jacket. Store pick: With limited time to read, and a desire to explore new authors and options, I don't always read the 'Sure Best Sellers.' However, I've enjoyed Baldacci in the past and hadn't read one of his in a while, so I took the opportunity to add this one to my reading list. I'm glad I did. In Walk the Wire, Baldacci has maintained his high quality of writing with a complex, intricate and multi-layered story filled with memorable and well developed characters. Amos Decker and his FBI colleague Alex Jamison find themselves ordered to a small North Dakota oil boom town to investigate the murder of a young woman whose body was mysteriously found to have already been autopsied when discovered. From there an intricate web of characters and settings in this small North Dakota town, home to a secretive US Military base and to the inevitable sins and distractions to be found in the wealth and hustle of an oil boom town make for a thrilling edge of your seat page turner, done in the classic Baldacci style. -Brent B., store volunteer
