What We're Reading: Edward

True Blue


by David Baldacci


This is the start of a new series for Baldacci. Mace Perry is a policewoman who bleeds blue. Her father was a policeman and her sister is the head of the Washington D.C. police force. Mace is infamous for her part in a series of armed robberies. She maintains that she was drugged and framed for the crimes. But she was convicted and sent to prison. Now that she is out of prison, she is out to clear her name and get back on the police force by solving a big case. The murder of a United States Attorney may be the ticket to get her life back. Then a respected lawyer is killed. The two victims had dinner together just before they were murdered. Are the two cases linked? Mace's investigation is stonewalled by powerful forces. Are they the same people who got her sent to prison? Mace races to solve the cases with the help of her sister and a friendly attorney. Good start to what will hopefully be a long series.
