Publisher's summary

In Paradise, nothing is what it seems....

Army Special Agent John Puller is the best there is. A combat veteran, Puller is the man the U.S. Army relies on to investigate the toughest crimes facing the nation. Now he has a new case - but this time, the crime is personal: His aunt has been found dead in Paradise, Florida.

A picture-perfect town on Florida's Gulf Coast, Paradise thrives on the wealthy tourists and retirees drawn to its gorgeous weather and beaches. The local police have ruled his aunt's death an unfortunate, tragic accident. But just before she died, she mailed a letter to Puller's father, telling him that beneath its beautiful veneer, Paradise is not all it seems to be.

What Puller finds convinces him that his aunt's death was no accident… and that the palm trees and sandy beaches of Paradise may hide a conspiracy so shocking that some will go to unthinkable lengths to make sure the truth is never revealed.

Puller is one of my favorite characters

Great story. Glued to the audio. More Action and adventure compared to the mystery of zero day

Cliffhanger

As always, I enjoyed the book. Taken from the book, that it wasn't what it seemed. The John Puller character did not disappoint

Baldacci shoots 'em up again!

Really knows his weapons and Puller perseveres to save the Forgotten. A truly riveting masterpiece

Pure Entertainment

Rich characters with personalities that are unique and interesting but unpredictable at all the key moments. In short, both the bad & good guys keep the reader guessing...which is so much fun!

Decent book but there was an issue

I enjoyed this book, its building tensions were palpable. The only issue I had was that the female characters sounded like the same person. It made the book confusing at the time but then I would catch up.
