This is a sequel to The Whole Truth, featuring Shaw, the premier operative of an unnamed agency sent to beautiful Provence, where he plans to abduct Evan Waller, a very bad man made wealthy by selling young girls into the sex trade and now dealing with Arab terrorists over the sale of enriched uranium. There, he crosses paths with Reggie Campion, a Nazi hunter who is after Fadir Kuchin, a cold-blooded Ukrainian psychopath known as the "Butcher of Kiev" who is now known as Evan Waller.
While I like David Baldacci's books, this was not one of my favorites. Shaw is not my favorite of his protagonists. While I did not dislike this story, when I reached the end I was somewhat glad that it was over. This thriller was not short on suspense, action, and violence, but for me personally, it did not totally grip and engage me. That said, it was a decent story and your results may differ.
