The Target by David Baldacci, 342 pages

"The Target" is the third book in the Will Robie series by Baldacci.  Will Robie and Jessica Reel are highly skilled assassins for the CIA.

They were very busy in this book.  First they were recruited for an ultra-secret mission to kill a bad world leader on the QT, then they had to rescue a young friend who was kidnapped by a Neo-Nazi group tied to Jessica's past, next they were asked to rescue some people in another country, finally they got a cushy assignment that turned out to be the hardest one yet.  Wow, from hit man/woman to all around go-to people for the biggest guy in the US government, in between their own personal missions.

Obviously the story was a little far fetched, but it was fun.  There is another storyline that involves an assassin in a totalitarian state.  That part of the story is not wham bam, and parts are actually quite serious.  However, overall this is an action-packed book full of making bad people pay the price for their badness.
