A gripping political thriller by David Baldacci, first published in 1999. One of Baldacci's early bestselling standalone novels, it combines political corruption, espionage, romance, and relentless suspense in a high-stakes story set in the corridors of power in Washington, D.C.

Faith Lockhart is a brilliant and influential political lobbyist who possesses information capable of exposing corruption at the highest levels of the U.S. government. Realizing the danger she faces, she agrees to cooperate with the FBI. Before she can testify, however, an assassination attempt leaves an FBI agent dead, and Faith becomes the target of a ruthless conspiracy involving powerful intelligence officials determined to silence her forever.

Caught in the middle is Lee Adams, a private investigator who inadvertently becomes Faith's protector. With both the FBI and covert operatives pursuing them, the pair are forced to flee across the country while uncovering a conspiracy that reaches into the highest levels of government. As they evade assassins and unravel hidden agendas, trust becomes their most valuable—and most fragile—asset.

Blending political intrigue with action, romance, and mystery, Saving Faith explores themes of corruption, loyalty, morality, power, and the personal cost of exposing the truth. Baldacci keeps the tension high through unexpected twists, fast pacing, and cinematic set pieces, making it one of his defining early thrillers.
