The Fix

By: David Baldacci

Narrated by: Kyf Brewer

In this "perfect 'fix' for the thriller aficionado" (Associated Press) #1 New York Times bestseller, maverick FBI detective Amos Decker must forge an uneasy alliance with the Defense Intelligence Agency to prevent an international incident that could spell the end of the United States as we know it.

Amos Decker witnesses a murder just outside FBI headquarters. A man shoots a woman execution-style on a crowded sidewalk, then turns the gun on himself.Even with Decker's extraordinary powers of observation and deduction, the killing is baffling. Decker and his team can find absolutely no connection between the shooter--a family man with a successful consulting business--and his victim, a schoolteacher. Nor is there a hint of any possible motive for the attack.Enter Harper Brown. An agent of the Defense Intelligence Agency, she orders Decker to back off the case. The murder is part of an open DIA investigation, one so classified that Decker and his team aren't cleared for it.But they learn that the DIA believes solving the murder is now a matter of urgent national security. Critical information may have been leaked to a hostile government--or worse, an international terrorist group--and an attack may be imminent.

Decker's never been one to follow the rules, especially with the stakes so high. Forced into an uneasy alliance with Agent Brown, Decker remains laser focused on only one goal: solving the case before it's too late.

God wired the universe in such a way that we need each other. I need you, and you need me.
The phrase “one another” is used 58 times in the New Testament: Love one another, care for one another, encourage one another, support one another, pray for one another, greet one another, share with one another.

You’re not meant to go through life by yourself. You need me, and I need you. You need the people around you, and they need you. We belong to each other. ;~PB

An exciting story!

I have fallen in love with these characters. David Baldacci is a master of suspense.

Fast flowing excitement and a clever plot

Baldacci is good at opening that grab the reader and don't let go. Decker actually witnesses the murder at the center of the investigation.
It turns out as a separate attempt to thwarts threatened terrorist attack. Part of the challenge is to figure out the where and how of the attack.
The book end with the reader, me, wanting to get to know the central characters better.
