Long Road to Mercy, the captivating first novel in the thrilling FBI Special Agent Atlee Pine series by the bestselling author David Baldacci, takes readers on an exhilarating journey.

FBI Special Agent Atlee Pine has learned three invaluable lessons throughout his life: some wounds simply refuse to heal, the passage of time does not alleviate the pain, and the prime suspect, the notorious serial killer Daniel James Tor, is incarcerated in a high-security prison, yet he has not confessed to the crime. Despite this, Atlee relentlessly continues her search for her twin sister, Mercy, who was abducted from their bedroom over thirty years ago.

Time may dull the edge of pain, but it does not diminish its intensity. Tor, the prime suspect, remains in prison, taunting Atlee with his silence, even as she relentlessly pursues her quest for justice. However, Atlee believes that she can make a difference.
