With A MINUTE TO MIDNIGHT we have the 2nd book in David Baldacci's series starring FBI Agent Atlee Line. This series is a bit different than a usual series where the main character solves new crimes in each installment. In the first Atlee Pine book, LONG ROAD TO MERCY, we see an FBI agent doing her job, but also consumed with trying to find out what happened to her sister Mercy, when Atlee was nearly beaten to death and her twin sister just disappeared at the age of 6. In this 2nd book, she is granted some leave time to go back to the place where the twins were separated to try and unearth what actually happened so many years earlier. While there she finds herself also drawn into a web of what appears to a serial killer at work. Ultimately these two lines of investigation have a connection and at the end she learns a startling new fact about her own history that most definitely sets up book #3 in this series. I hope Baldacci gets to work and that book is published soon - can't wait. Lots of twists and turns, lots of characters, and great development of the key character, Atlee Pine (as well a former FBI partner and her current FBI Admin Assistant). Great read, enjoy!
