Book description
Seven seconds. That's all it took for Web London to lose everything:
his friends, his team, his reputation. Point man of the FBI's
super-elite Hostage rescue Team, Web roared into a blind alley towards a
drug leader's lair, only to meet a high-tech, custom-designed ambush
that killed everyone around him.
Coping with the blame-filled words of anguished widows and the
suspicions of colleagues, Web tries to put his life back together. To do
so, he must discover why he was the one man who lived through the ambush
- and find the only other person who came out of the alley alive . . . a
ten-year-old boy who has since disappeared. Acting on his instincts, Web
believes he knows where the killer will strike next. Only this time, he
may not survive the attack.
In this extraordinary work, Baldacci uses his unsurpassed storytelling
skills to explore the essence of survival itself, as a conspiracy of
violence surrounds an FBI agent whose fate was to be the . . . LAST MAN
STANDING. David Baldacci is the seven-time New York Times best-selling
author of ABSOLUTE POWER, TOTAL CONTROL, THE WINNER, THE SIMPLE TRUTH,
SAVING FAITH, WISH YOU WELL and LAST MAN STANDING. His most recent
novel, SPLIT SECOND, will be published by macmillan in December 2003. He
lives in Virginia with his wife and two children.
