Este libro se presenta por primera vez a John Puller, el mejor investigador militar de la Division Criminal de la Armada de los Estados Unidos. En este thriller, Baldacci se adentra en un nuevo territorio -para el que investigo a fondo e incluso visito un campo de entrenamiento militar- dando vida a un nuevo heroe, duro y singular. / Someone has stumbled onto a crime scene, a family slaughtered. The local homicide detective joins forces with Puller, a combat veteran, in the investigation. Puller realizes that absolutely nothing he's seen in this small town is what it seems. Facing a conspiracy that reaches far beyond the hills of West Virginia, he is one man on the hunt for justice.
