True Blue

By: David Baldacci

Narrated by: Ron McLarty

As former D.C cop Mace Perry investigates a mysterious high-profile homicide in a last-ditch attempt to get her badge back, she finds herself on a collision course with the dark side of national security in this New York Times bestseller.

Mason "Mace" Perry was a firebrand cop on the D.C. police force until she was kidnapped and framed for a crime -- and then 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. But even with her police chief sister on her side, she'll have to work in the shadows: A vindictive U.S. attorney will stop at nothing to send Mace back to jail. Enter Roy Kingman . . .

A young D.C. lawyer, Roy meets Mace after the murder of one of the firm's female partners. Soon Roy and Mace are investigating together -- and uncovering surprising secrets from both the private and public sectors of the nation's capital.

Critic reviews

"Fast-paced and entertaining."—Kirkus

"[Baldacci] delivers his usual intricate plotting and sets the stage nicely for highly competent Beth and impulsive, streetwise Mace to take on more bad guys."

—Publishers Weekly

"Baldacci has proven his ability to write well-paced thrillers that combine crime and politics in locations ranging from mean streets to opulent mansions."

—Booklist

"An action-packed, face-paced, over-the-top-of-the-Washington Monument thriller...very entertaining."
—Midwest Book Review

"Baldacci is at the top of his game here, exercising his talent for creating both winsome and darker-than-dark characters that keep readers turning the pages..."
—Bookpage.com

"Fast-paced, heart-pounding..."
—Fredericksburg Free Lance-Star

didn't realize it was an abridged book

which explains some gaffs and gaps. its an alright story and pretty predictable. I listened to the end.

very good to listen

the story is very interesting. the narrator made listening very easy and comfortable to listen. recommend it to everyone who likes this kind of stories.

I didn't like the ethnic voices

I love your books, however there are ethnic voiceovers actors that would have done a much better job at these characters. I wanted to stop listening because I was offended. Please use better voice over actors in the future.

Love it

I really am really enjoying all his books...I love the author.... His books are not real gory

Good writer continues in decline

Just finished True Blue and I am sad to say that David Baldacci's efforts continue to resemble a tail spin of a plane out of control. After a series of strong efforts including the Camel Club series, his 2 latest books have been major disappointments. After the confused and totally unbelievable mess that was First Family, True Blue continues on a similar path. True Blue is filled with unbelievable events, coincidences and characters that just leave you shaking your head in disbelief. While I expect the unusual in thrillers such as this, Baldacci's characters have become totally unbelievable giving the book an almost cartoonish tone.
