Hope Rises

In Baldacci’s sequel to Nash Falls, Walter Nash is working with the FBI to dismantle a global crime network. His wife is in witness protection, and he believes his daughter is dead at the hands of a dangerous drug dealer. Nash transforms his look, morphing from successful businessman to tough-guy private security enforcer. His new name (Dillon Hope), his new physique, and his training allow him to infiltrate the drug operations of the beautiful, devious, and enigmatic Victoria Steers, who hires Nash to be her bodyguard. Nash has every reason to hate Steers, but there is something about her that belies her cool, calculating facade. As they spend time together, a bond grows between them, and Nash notes a different reality behind the story Steers wants the world to see. When the opportunity arises to take down the billionaire Steers answers to, Nash and Steers work together, reveal their pasts, and attempt the dangerous task that confronts them.
