In this #1 New York Times bestselling thriller, a burglar, Luther Whitney, breaks into a Virginia mansion, and witnesses a brutal crime involving the president—​a man who believes he can get away with anything. Featuring a Preface Read by David Baldacci.
In a heavily guarded mansion in the Virginia countryside, professional burglar and break-in artist Luther Whitney is trapped behind a two-way mirror. What he witnesses destroys his faith not only in justice, but in all he holds dear.

What follows is an unthinkable abuse of power and criminal conspiracy, as a breathtaking cover-up is set in motion by those appointed to work for one of the most important people in the world: the President of the United States.

Although a work of fiction, one only needs to listen to the news or read the newspaper to see many similarities in the behavior of our elected and powerful leaders and celebraties. Absolute power truly corrupts. A truly sad commentary on the morals and values of much of our Society today.

Great book! While we saw the movie years ago, this book captured your attention from moment one. The level of detail and intrigue made me anxious as to when I would have the opportunity to get back and listen again! I hated to stop! Sorry it is over, Baldacci never lets you down.

What did you like best about this story?

It's not a shallow story. It goes deep into the characters (yet, not all of them) and keeps you interested.

Any additional comments?

It is definitely a nice book to listen to. Scott Brick is an amazing narrator. It's my first book of Baldacci and I never saw the movie and if this is his first book, then the rest are definitely greater and I can't wait to check. A slightly less "cheesy" details and this books is close to being perfect.

Rich of characters and details
