Walter Nash - an ordinary family man thrown into a dangerous underworld - returns in Hope Rises, the second instalment in a gripping new series from the multimillion-copy number one bestselling author.

‘BALDACCI IS STILL PEERLESS’ – THE SUNDAY TIMES

REVENGE IS A DISH BEST SERVED COLD . . .

After turning informant for the FBI against a global criminal empire, Walter Nash has lost everything he cherished to its ruthless leader, Victoria Steers. Once gentle and sensitive, Nash’s rigorous training has forged him into a figure of power and precision with a singular mission: to take down Steers.

Defeating a mastermind requires cunning. Known for her sharp instincts, Steers confides in only a trusted few, so to penetrate her inner circle and dismantle her operation, Nash must summon all of his savvy and strength.

But as he edges closer to the woman who unraveled his life, Nash finds himself oddly drawn to Steers in ways he never could’ve imagined. And what he uncovers will upend all he knows, leading him to a choice that will change everything.

Will the truth set Nash free?

Or end him?

The pulse-pounding, unmissable sequel to Nash Falls, from international number one bestselling author of The 6:20 Man, David Baldacci.
