Pieces of Her by Karin Slaughter
The book starts with Andrea involved in a shooting at a cafe on her birthday. She is rescued by the intervention of her mother. But this activity sets Andy off on the run as the world she knows seems to be based on lies, mostly about who her mother actually is. There is a second narrative about an assassination thirty years early of a pharmaceutical billionaire at a conference in Sweden done by an underground terrorist group ala the symbioses liberation army. Pieces of the past story keep bleeding over into Andy's journey.
It was a solid story although I felt the lead was a little to whiny in the whole "woe is me" sort of way.

As a matter of fact, my anger does keep me warm
