Of all the Baldacci books I have read I enjoyed this on the most. The protagonist is an active duty Army CID agent sent to investigate the murder of a Colonel that occurred in a small West Virginia town in coal mining country. Plenty of plot twists, good descriptions of action and activity. Two comments though: First Puller, (the protagonist) has the most well stocked automobile trunk one could hope for. almost every contingency has him pulling out the correct item as needed. Secondly, his character has echoes of Jack Reacher. This is not a cavil but rather a comment that such characters are a welcome change from the anti-hero and metrosexuals that seem to inhabit the genre lately.
