Hope Rises

 

Hope Rises (Walter Nash #2 of 2 ) by David Baldacci. Grand Central Publishing, 432 pages. ****

Walter Nash has reinvented himself with fine-tuning his body, the addition of tattoos and a new name, Dillon Hope. Bent on revenge, he will do anything to bring down the people responsible for his daughter's death. Traveling into the devil's lair as a security guard to his boss, Rhett Temple, he has one mission, keeping his enemies alive so that he can kill them. He becomes an informant for the FBI to report on Victoria Steers, the head of a global criminal drug operation. Acting as his exboss's security guard, he agrees to protect Steer's mother once she is sprung from a highly secret jail. Things don't go as planned and Hope soon learns who he can trust and who will keep his new identity a secret. Feeling an attraction for his enemy has Hope questioning his own mission and the veracity of what he's been told. Will he fail and be killed before he can complete his mission or will he discover who the villain is behind the far reaching drug operation? 

I thoroughly enjoyed the second book, Hope Rises, Baldacci managed to bring the story together in a fast-paced, action packed ending. I felt that the first book (Nash Falls) lagged somewhat and was stretched out to pave the way for the second book. Hope Rises didn't disappoint and perhaps some readers may like two books to tell the story. Psychological thrillers are my genre of choice and Baldacci delivers! I am in awe of his character development and plot complexity. Highly Recommend!
