The Escape: A Thrilling John Puller Novel from the Sunday Times Bestselling Author
In this heart-pounding third instalment of David Baldacci's John Puller series, CID investigator John Puller faces his most personal and challenging case yet when his brother, Bobby, escapes from death row at Leavenworth Prison. Wanted by the US government for national security crimes, Bobby is now on the run and in disguise, leaving John torn between loyalty to his country and to his brother.
As John delves deeper into the case with the help of his long-time friend and colleague, General Julie Carson, it becomes clear that Bobby's role was far more powerful and far-reaching than he ever imagined. With state secrets at stake and dangerous players in pursuit, John finds himself 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.
The Escape is a gripping thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat as John Puller navigates a web of treason, deception, and family ties. Will he uncover the truth before it's too late?
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In bestseller Baldacci's clever third John Puller thriller (after 2012's The Forgotten), the chief warrant officer faces his most difficult and most personal assignment yet. Puller's older brother, Robert, a former major in the USAF, is a convicted traitor serving a life sentence in Leavenworth. A seemingly impossible chain of events ends with Robert escaping and a corpse left in his cell. A trio of high-placed officials, Army, Air Force, and National Security, go against normal protocol, and charge Puller with finding and arresting Robert. Puller has to figure out the identity of the dead man found in his brother's cell, as well as who enabled Robert to escape. To add to his problems, he's not sure he can trust the Army Intelligence agent assigned to work with him, Veronica Knox. The Puller brothers are in deep trouble, and it will take all their ingenuity and skills just to survive. Baldacci handles the complex plot with consummate ease as the Pullers navigate nearly endless surprises.
