About this listen

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.

Lots of fun, great to read earliest Baldacci

Fun cat and mouse with high stakes and twists along the way. Much better then the feature film.

What happened tp the bag of stuff Luther stole?

I realize the money and bonds from the safe room were inconsequential to the events that unfolded but there should be something about what happened to the bounty. It bothered me enough I had to read through twice to see if I missed it somewhere the first time. I am now convinced I did not miss it so what happened?

Riveting story. Unnecessary foul language.

Such a great story with unexpected twists and turns. However, won’t be purchasing any further books because of the unnecessary foul language.
