The Escape
David Baldacci
Publication:
1 November 2014, Macmillan - RRP $34.99, Trade Paperback
Military CID investigator, John Puller, has returned
from his latest case in Florida to learn that his brother, Bobby, on death row
at Leavenworth Military Prison for national security crimes, has escaped.
Preliminary investigations show that he may have had help in his breakout. Now
he's on the run, and in disguise, and he's the military's number one target.
John Puller has a dilemma. Which comes first, loyalty to
his country or to his brother? Bobby has state secrets that certain people will
literally kill for. But blood is thicker than water, and the brothers are close
although even John does not know for sure what Bobby really did for the
government, nor if he's even guilty of his crimes. It becomes swiftly apparent,
however, that Bobby's role was powerful and far-reaching.
With the help of John's long-time friend and colleague,
General Julie Carson, both brothers move closer to the truth from their
opposing directions. And this case puts John Puller in a place he thought he'd
never be, on the other side of the law, where even his skills as an
investigator, and his strength as a fighter, might not be enough to save him.
And his brother.
