What this book is about
Amos Decker and Alex Jamison travel to London, North Dakota — a town transformed by the Bakken oil boom — where a woman has been murdered. The boomtown's transient population, its sudden wealth, and its connection to government research create a web of suspects. Walk the Wire is the sixth Amos Decker novel — Baldacci's most oil-industry-focused thriller.
