The Whole Truth by David Baldacci
4.0
Baldacci's The Whole Truth is, in today's world, a cautionary tale about the power of deliberate misinformation.
One very wealthy, and by virtue of that wealth, very powerful man brings the world to the brink of war by engaging a PM (perception manager) to create and globally distribute a horrific campaign of misleading information that sets two of the world's superpowers at echo other's throat. They'll stop at nothing to keep their charade and parade of lies moving forward.
We meet A. Shaw - a mountain of a man working with a slightly outside the law global enforcement agency. We meet the love of his life, who may not understand just how much danger Shaw's work puts him in. We meet A Pulitzer prize-winning journalist who may have a bit of a drinking problem.
And these two stories become one.
Shocking in places, and I know I held my breath more than once, but I had to see it through to the end.
