Book Description
In the field of popular fiction David Baldacci is far
ahead of the competition. Continuing his string of New York
Times bestsellers, Baldacci presents his most electrifying
story to date-a novel of nonstop action, vividly etched
characters, and an astounding vision of the inner sanctums of
our government.
Not far from Washington, D.C., in a wooded area of
Northern Virginia, a small house at the end of a gravel road
serves a secret purpose. With its sophisticated security
apparatus and hidden miniaturized cameras, it is being used
by the FBI to interview one of the most important witnesses
the agency has ever had, a young woman with an incredible
story to tell. But a few people know about the secret
meeting. And for them, a violent drama is about to begin.
One man-a local private investigator named Lee Adams-has
come to the house on the orders of his client. Another man, a
hired killer, stakes out the house on orders from his
powerful paymasters. And the witness, Faith Lockhart, is
coming to tell the FBI everything she knows about the
powerful lobbyist with whom she has worked, a man who
manipulates U.S. government policy and who, in the process,
made some very dangerous enemies.
Then, before Faith can tell her story, the hit man pulls
the trigger and the wrong victim falls. Now Faith Lockhart is
on the run-from the most dangerous people in America-with Lee
Adams, a man she doesn't know, yet must trust.
A relentless chase novel that unfolds as both the FBI and
a killer search for Faith and Lee, this is also a searing and
utterly suspenseful tale of power gone mad in Washington, and
of one woman's desperate attempt to break out of a web of
corruption and terror that reaches much further than even she
can know. In the hands of master storyteller David Baldacci,
SAVING FAITH elevates the thriller to a new level and poses
stunning questions about the rules we live by, the rules we
are governed by-and what happens when some people make rules
of their own.
