*****

Total control. You'll kill to keep it . . .

A RISING STAR.

Jason Archer is a young executive at a world-leading technology conglomerate. Determined to give his wife and daughter the best of everything, he enters into a deadly game of cat and mouse.

A GRIEVING WIDOW.

When a plane plummets into the Virginia countryside, Sidney Archer is devastated by the loss of her husband. But then she learns the job interview Jason was flying to never existed, and everything changes. Suddenly there is no one she can trust.

A RACE FOR THE TRUTH.

A suspicious air crash investigation team, a tenacious veteran FBI agent and the threads of a sinister plot all beg the question: what really happened to Jason Archer?

Perfect for fans of the Travis Devine and Atlee Pine series, Total Control is a breathtaking thrill ride of non-stop action and suspense from international bestselling author David Baldacci.
