Locked in a battle of nerve and wits, a mysterious intelligence operative and a vigilante agent race against time to take down a greedy businessman bent on destroying millions of lives in this #1 New York Times bestselling thriller. Evan Waller is a monster . . . He has built a fortune from his willingness to buy and sell anything . . . and anyone. In search of new opportunities, Waller has just begun a new business venture: one that could lead to millions of deaths all over the globe. On his trail is Shaw, the mysterious operative from The Whole Truth, who has tracked Waller to Provence and must prevent him from closing his latest deal. But someone else is pursuing Waller: Reggie Campion, an agent for a secret vigilante group headquartered in a musty old English estate -- and she has an agenda of her own. Hunting the same man and unaware of each other's mission, Shaw and Reggie will be caught in a deadly duel of nerves and wits. Hitchcockian in its intimate buildup of suspense and filled with the remarkable characters, breathtaking plot turns, and blockbuster finale that are David Baldacci's hallmarks, Deliver Us From Evil is one of the most gripping thrillers you'll read this year.
Titel: Deliver Us from Evil

Sammendrag: En international spændingsroman om efterretningsagenten Shaw, der forsøger at stoppe forretningsmanden og massemorderen Evan Waller, hvis nye forretning kan medføre massedød. I Sydfrankrig støder Shaw indirekte sammen med Reggie Campion, der for en hemmelig britisk gruppe jagter Waller af helt egne grunde. Uden at kende hinanden arbejder de parallelt, mens Waller er beskyttet af egne sikkerhedsfolk og et omfattende kriminelt netværk. Historien udforsker temaer som global kriminalitet, selvtægt, moral i efterretningstjenester og grænsen mellem retfærdighed og hævn. Bogen er anden roman med Shaw fra David Baldacci og henvender sig til læsere af actionprægede, politiske thrillere med internationalt spil, sammensværgelser og højt tempo.
