(Will Robie #4)
432 pages / 11 hrs, 46 mins
"Will Robie escaped his small Gulf Coast hometown of Cantrell, Mississippi, after high school, severing all personal ties, and never looked back. Not once. Not until...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...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?
"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." --from the publisher
I was completely engrossed in this story. It had a psychological element that added drama to Baldacci's style. Four out of five stars from me!
