Donde nacen los conflictos belicos que rigen los destinos del mundo? Que intereses mueven las altas esferas? En The Whole Truth, David Baldacci no solo explora la verdad de la politica internacional, sino tambien la de la naturaleza humana. ""Recordad a Konstantin"" es el grito de batalla que recorre Estados Unidos. Un video colgado en Internet certifica que este joven ruso ha sido torturado y ejecutado por el gobierno de su pais. El temor ante el regreso de la guerra fria es tan palpable que los Estados de todo el mundo se preparan para lo peor. Pero y si todo se tratara de un engano? Nicholas Creel, director de Ares Corporation, una gran multinacional de armamento, se cree con suficiente poder como para manipular la realidad en su beneficio. Pero no cuenta con la tenacidad de Shaw, un hombre de tortuoso pasado cuyo unico objetivo es acabar con el; ni con Katie James, una periodista caida en desgracia que hara todo lo posible por volver a alcanzar la cumbre En este apasionante y verosimil thriller internacional, las vidas de los personajes chocan entre si a medida que se pone en marcha una serie de acontecimientos que podrian cambiar el mundo. / Nicolas Creel is a man on a mission. He heads up the world's largest defense contractor, The Ares Corporation. Dick Pender is the man Creel retains to ""perception manage"" his company to even more riches by manipulating international conflicts. But Creel may have an even grander plan in mind. Shaw, a man with no first name and a truly unique past, has a different agenda. Reluctantly doing the bidding of a secret multi-national intelligence agency, he travels the globe to keep it safe and at peace. Willing to do anything to get back to the top of her profession, Katie James is a journalist who has just gotten the break of a lifetime: the chance to interview the sole survivor of a massacre that has left every nation stunned. In this terrifying, global thriller, these characters' lives will collide head-on as a series of events is set in motion that could change the world as we know it. An utterly spellbinding story that feels all too real, THE WHOLE TRUTH delivers all the twists and turns, emotional drama, unforgettable characters, and can't-put-it-down pacing that readers expect from David Baldacci-and still goes beyond anything he's written before.
