Sadly, Jamie Meldon did not live long in the book. There are two parts to this story which intertwined to create an intricate and fast-paced plot which involves good and bad guys and a law enforcement sister act.
The first part involves the protagonist, Mason 'Mace' Perry who wasted two years of her life in jail for a crime she was framed for. When she got out, she vowed to take a shot to be a 'true blue' again and when her chief of police sister is called out to a murder of a lawyer in downtown DC, she thought this might be her shot. The second part involves a classic piggyback scheme using legitimate business transactions to cover other movements of money as a way of paying off people for intelligence. There were secrets and secrets within secrets and the scheme was so shrouded in mystery that enemies and allies were often interchangeable, so much so that Jamie Meldon was found shot and his body dumped in a Dumpster in an alley. This murder started the whole ball rolling for Mace and lawyer Roy Kingman. Do read this book to find out how and why the two parts are linked and I guarantee you will not be disappointed!
I always think that an author says it better than anyone else and here is Baldacci talking about True Blue, his philanthropic activities and his next book which was already out (7:47):
Don't forget to stop by the author's official website to read other reviews, what the author is reading, what he has read or even to read his biography on http://www.davidbaldacci.com/
Rating: 5/5 (Not bad)
