Publisher Description
After failing a critical assignment overseas, Will Robie must investigate a murder accusation against his father--but to save him, he'll have to face a violent and deadly fallout in this New York Times bestselling thriller.
Will Robie escaped his small Gulf Coast hometown of Cantrell, Mississippi after high school, severing all personal ties, and never looked back. Not until the unimaginable occurs. His father, Dan Robie, has been arrested and charged with murder.
Father and son haven't spoken or seen each other since the day Robie left town. In that time, Dan Robie--a local attorney and pillar of the community--has been elected town judge. Despite this, most of Cantrell is aligned against Dan. His guilt is assumed.
To make matters worse, Dan has refused to do anything to defend himself. When Robie tries to help, his father responds only with anger and defiance. Could Dan really be guilty?
With the equally formidable Jessica Reel at his side, Robie ignores his father's wishes and begins his own desperate investigation into the case. But Robie is now a stranger to his hometown, an outsider, a man who has forsaken his past and his family. His attempts to save his father are met with distrust and skepticism...and violence.
Unlike the missions Robie undertook in the service of his country, where his target was clearly defined, digging into his father's case only reveals more questions. Robie is drawn into the hidden underside of Cantrell, where he must face the unexpected and possibly deadly consequences of the long-ago choices made by father and son. And this time, there may be no escape for either of them.

Great Characters
Great Book with an ending we didn’t see coming. We are now going back to read the series from Book 1.
Perfect
Growing up in southern Mississippi this book is true some of the southern Mississippi is backwoods as a moonshine still some the Mississippi facts such as it being the poorest state and so on our facts.Mississippi still holds on of the most civil war pride out of all states. A lot of Mississippians are smart with more degrees the people at Harvard. But being from the south there is the use of language most people aren’t used to. That being said the review saying that what some of this book betrays isn’t true is false. This betrays some of the legitimate of the backwoods part of Mississippi. Mississippi is a beautiful state the hills and followers some of the beautiful you will ever see anywhere in the south the magnolia is a beautiful plant. And fields of goldenrods they are the most beautiful you will see. I would suggest if you have never been to Mississippi to visit it and drive over the state and look into some of its history.

Music?
What’s with the background music? And why is entire audiobook one track instead of separated by chapters. This is the worst audiobook in the history of audiobooks. Whoever made the above decisions should be terminated. The last time I’ll buy book and audiobook from Baldacci. It’s a shame because it’s a loss of money for them. I do this for every Reacher and Rapp book.
