Publisher Description
Combat veteran and U. S. Army investigator John Puller is on the hunt for justice with the help of a homicide detective--but as they face deceptions and dead ends, a powerful force threatens to stop them forever in this #1 New York Times bestselling thriller.
John Puller is a combat veteran and the best military investigator in the U.S. Army's Criminal Investigative Division. His father was an Army fighting legend, and his brother is serving a life sentence for treason in a federal military prison. Puller has an indomitable spirit and an unstoppable drive to find the truth.
Now, Puller is called out on a case in a remote, rural area in West Virginia coal country far from any military outpost. Someone has stumbled onto a brutal crime scene, a family slaughtered. The local homicide detective, a headstrong woman with personal demons of her own, joins forces with Puller in the investigation. As Puller digs through deception after deception, he realizes that absolutely nothing he's seen in this small town, and no one in it, are what they seem. Facing a potential conspiracy that reaches far beyond the hills of West Virginia, he is one man on the hunt for justice against an overwhelming force.

" Very believable book. i love his books. "
— Sharon, 2/14/2014 -
" A very good read. Baldacci writes too many books for them to be great, but still entertaining. Another plus for him, is that he does not keep writing the same book. "
— Rod, 2/10/2014 -
" This book is darker than I expected from Baldacci, but it was still engaging if not my favorite of his books. "
— Gretchen, 2/8/2014 -
" NOT SURE I LIKE FORMULA Books once you reaf one you've rea them all "
— Jeff, 2/8/2014 -

" David baldacchino is one of my favorite authors. This was a great story until the last pages...I found myself feeling disappointed at the ending. "
— Jan, 1/8/2014 -
" He really had a hard time getting into the book and so did I. At page 200, the story finally began, seemed like the beginning was all prep for the story.....not his best book. "
— Pippin, 12/18/2013 -
" amost similar to a hollywood movie.......... "
— Vikas, 12/14/2013 -
" An ok mystery but I've enjoyed other Baldacci novels more. Perhaps it's just that I'm not a huge fan of mystery novels involving some gruesome murder and then an endless detective blow by blow account of the day to day search for the killer(s). "
— Davecon, 11/20/2013 -
" I loved the second book in this series so I went back to listen to the first-- this book. Not good. Baldacci could erase half of the material and give us a far better book. I gave it two stars because the storyline was at least somewhat entertaining. "
— Tracy, 9/26/2013 -
" one story all the way through - loved it "
— Peter.gottler, 9/12/2013 -
" Fast moving, action packed read. "
— Jerri, 5/31/2013 -
" About a third into the book and it is moving along very fast and I like it. Writes good visual pictures of what is going on. Almost too good with some of the killings . . .but read fast over those parts. "
— Dawn, 4/13/2013 -
" Another great mystery by Baldacci. Keeps one involved until the very end. "
— Jewel, 4/8/2013 -
" Entertaining. The new character, John Puller, is a good one that I'm sure will continue in future writings. "
— Jack, 2/19/2013 -
" Best book Baldacci has written in a long time. Puller is an excellent character, reminding me of Lee Child's Reacher with every page turn. Kudos, Mr. Baldacci. Kudos. "
— Annie, 2/5/2013 -
" I like Baldacci and this was a good story but took me longer than I like probably due to keeping up with the acronyms. The ending was a bit much but paved the way for further John Puller adventures. "
— Jackie, 12/29/2012 -
" This book does not make it to even close to the top of my favorite David Baldacci books. The story took way to long to develop. The story just felt too slow and drawn out for me. "
— Alilam1, 12/14/2012 -
" Not a classic but a good page turner instead of watching TV; I really enjoy reading this book. "
— Ted, 11/15/2012 -
" Such an exciting book. Puller (army CID) has an endearing softer side "
— Jill, 10/31/2012 -
" This book is great. I couldn't put it down. "
— Charlotte, 9/24/2012 -
" As with other Baldacci books, I got hooked quickly. Here we have Army combat veteran John Puller, a military investigator, sent to a small town in West Virginia to solve a murder. It turns out to be much more complicated - involving a possible nuclear bomb, multiple murders, etc. "
— Trudi, 7/25/2012 -
" I love this author....but this was not up to snuff "
— Lisa, 5/16/2012 -
" Was a little slow paced. "
