Product Description 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.

Not Typical Baldacci November 22, 2009 R. H. Brownell III (Harrisonburg, VA United States) I am a Baldacci fan that has read all his work and eagerly await his latest. True Blue was a total disappointment. The story line is contrived and the characters are developed about as much as a Garfield cartoon episode. I can't actually find one thing I would recommend about this book.
I thought "simple genius" was the worst, but this one surpassed it! November 22, 2009 JustAForeignReader (Major Earthquake Faultline) after "simple genius", i've pushed d.b. into "declining writers" category, but still, i picked up his new ones automatically. "the whole truth" and the last camel club series seemed to be okay, but alas, here comes another coffin nail from this author again. i now absolutely believe that d.b. has totally lost it! this is the final mistake i've made on d.b. but never again. adios, d.b.
not good November 22, 2009 Mystery Mary This was a real disappointment. I have always enjoyed Baldacci books, but this plot is too contrived and he characters unbelievable. I would not buy any follow u if he is plannng a series.

I loved it! November 20, 2009 Melinda Bailiff 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
Wow I am surprised by the bad reviews. I loved this book and I read it in less than a week. This book starts out suspenseful and does not let up until the end which I have to admit leaves us hanging a bit. This book is more in the vane of one of his old novels Saving Faith and it does not resemble his last 3 or 4 books very much so maybe the bad reviews are from people who have not read his early works. If you liked the early novels from Baldacci you should like this one as well.
