Resumen del Editor

New York Times best-selling author David Baldacci returns with his next thriller featuring military investigator John Puller.

John Puller's mother disappeared nearly 30 years ago. Despite an intensive search and investigation, she was never seen again. But new allegations have come to light suggesting that Puller's father - now suffering from dementia and living in a VA hospital - may have murdered his wife.

Puller is officially barred from working on the case and faces a potential court-martial if he disobeys the order, but he knows he can't sit this investigation out. When intelligence operative Veronica Knox turns up, Puller realizes that there is far more to this case than he had originally thought. Puller will stop at nothing to discover the truth about what happened to his mother...even if it means proving that his father is a killer.

True Alpha Male Hero

I love John Puller, an alpha male hero in the truest sense of the word: strong, protective and caring without being domineering or aggressive. Unlike the macho violent jerks so popular in recent popular fiction, Puller genuinely likes & respects women and is not intimidated by smart, assertive females.

In previous books, I had wondered what had happened to Puller's mother, who had disappeared without a trace when he was about 8. After someone suggested that Puller's dad could be responsible, John decided to launch his own investigation, willing to risk his career and safety to discover the truth.

Since I can usually figure out the culprit in most mysteries before the end, I was pleasantly surprised that this plot was well developed with twists and turns that kept me guessing. I also liked how John used intelligence, experience and persistence, rather than relying on weapons and brute force.

The most unique and surprising character was the anti-hero Paul, a convicted killer with hidden depths and a horrific past. The author transformed what could have been a boring stereotypical thug into an engrossing and sympathetic personality. In fact, there were several secondary characters who were well written and off-beat.

Excellent entertainment!

Loved It!

It keep me in suspense, entertaining to follow along on the evolving story of the Puller brothers. Enjoyable story.

Great listen!

Fantastic. Hoping there is another in the series - PLEASE!!! Cassidy is a pleasure to listen to - a craftswoman. Prefer man’s voice from books 1 & 2. Great read, easy and love the details. Nice mix of military and technology with lively relationships.

Good story

I was a bit disappointed in all of the foul language in this book. That is uncharacteristic of this author.

His best yet!

This book had several twists and turns I never saw coming and was so engaging I stayed up most of the night listening to it. The characters are so well done and layered in. Just an excellent story. It is going to be a very long day tomorrow at work but it was worth it!

Good story by Baldacci

Overall a good story. I have become a Baldacci fan. I do wish they had kept with Ron McLarty as narrator. When you get use to his voice one tend to associate that voice with the main character. Kyf Brewer took a little time getting use to. Still it was a book and fun to listen to.

The best of Puller Series so far!

I always feel like the writer is getting a little better every time a new Puller book comes out but this one, is a big step up!!! the book is totally awesome! David Baldacci included some new elements that are totally new from all of his previous work and the result is fantastic. The suspense and action is very gripping and you just can't put it down until it's over. In my opinion, this book will stand out as a masterpiece from all of David Baldacci's work forever!
