John Puller is an army investigator. When he is assigned to look into the murder of a colonel and his entire family Puller wonders why he is taken out of his normal jurisdiction and why he is given almost no support, but he is a good soldier and does as he is commanded. He finds himself in very rural West Virginia in coal mining country. Forming a solid trust with the local police sergeant they begin to unravel the clues. Treason,terrorism, and nuclear threats abound. While parts of the story seemed a little dry, the story overall was complex and intriguing and got better over the course. I listened to this audiobook.
Good story, kept me reading despite crazy plot machinations and an eerie similarity to the first Jack Reacher book. I thought the emotional aspects of the book, or what could have been emotional aspects, were very underdone. The idea of his father's dementia and his brother's situation really intrigued me but they just weren't explored on an emotional level. At all. And I'm sorry but SPOILER what kind of man is offered no-strings sex and says no? WTH didn't he sleep with Sam? That shit is just unnatural END SPOILER.Fans of purely plot based action novels would enjoy this.
Very good - moved right along - nice story about a military type hero.
Fast paced
