Why would Quentin Herms flee into the Quag? There was nothing in the Quag except certain death.
Vega Jane has never left the village of Wormwood. But this isn't unusual -- nobody has ever left the village of Wormwood. At least not until Quentin Herms vanishes into the unknown.
Vega knows Quentin didn't just leave -- he was chased. And he's left behind a very dangerous trail of clues that only she can decode.
The Quag is a dark forest filled with terrifying beasts and bloodthirsty Outliers. But just as deadly are the threats that exist within the walls of Wormwood. It is a place built on lies, where influential people are willing to kill to keep their secrets. Vega is determined to uncover the truth -- but the closer she gets, the more she risks her life.
With THE FINISHER, master storyteller David Baldacci conjures a thrilling, imaginative world where things are as wrong as wrong can be -- and introduces us to an unforgettable heroine who must think fast, look close, and defy all odds in her fight to do what's right.

I have to admit I had a few issues with some of David Baldacci's coined words. There really could have been more imagination put in to the creation of new words for this new world. However, once I got past that, I loved the characters and creatures that filled this action packed fantasy/mystery and I can't wait for the next installment. Vega Jane is a alone in her small community and is looking for answers to mysteries in community. She is not willing to accept the platitudes of a hierarchy that has with held answers from anyone brave enough to observe and question the facts. Baldacci creates a truely original world alive with new creatures, people, and magic to explore.
