David Baldacci is one of the world's most popular, widely
read storytellers. In his blockbuster thrillers Zero
Day and The Forgotten, he enthralled readers
with
John Puller. A combat veteran and special agent with the
U.S. Army, Puller is the man they call to investigate the
toughest crimes facing the nation. But all his training,
all
his experience, all his skills will not prepare him for
his
newest case, one that will force him to hunt down the
most
formidable and brilliant prey he has ever tracked: his
own
brother.
THE ESCAPE
It's a prison unlike any other. Military discipline
rules.
Its security systems are unmatched. None of its prisoners
dream of escaping. They know it's impossible . . . until
now.
John Puller's older brother, Robert, was convicted of
treason and national security crimes. His inexplicable
escape from prison makes him the most wanted criminal in
the
country. Some in the government believe that John Puller
represents their best chance at capturing Robert alive,
and
so Puller must bring in his brother to face justice.
But Puller quickly discovers that his brother is pursued
by
others who don't want him to survive. Puller is in turn
pushed into an uneasy, fraught partnership with another
agent, who may have an agenda of her own.
They dig more deeply into the case together, and Puller
finds that not only are her allegiances unclear, but
there
are troubling details about his brother's conviction . .
.
and someone out there doesn't want the truth to ever come
to
light. As the nationwide manhunt for Robert grows more
urgent, Puller's masterful skills as an investigator and
strengths as a fighter may not be enough to save his
brother-or himself.
