Book Review By Amrita Nandagopal
Total Control by David Baldacci

Jason Archer, a brilliant engineer, wants to provide his wife Sidney Archer and his daughter with the world, but to do so, he has to complete a risky assignment.

When Jason disappears after a place crash and his bosses and investigators accuse him of being involved in a criminal conspiracy, Sidney is shattered. Soon extraordinary secrets come to the forefront and Sidney is on the run from the killers who want to retrieve a vital piece of information that Jason sent Sidney before disappearing.

FBI investigator Sawyer starts investigating the air crash which starts out seemingly simple but unfolds into a tangled web of lies, threats and murder of one of the most important men in the world.
