Sinossi
John Puller non è semplicemente un agente speciale dell'Esercito degli Stati Uniti, ma la punta di diamante della Criminal Investigation Division, l'uomo a cui ci si affida per risolvere i crimini più complessi ed enigmatici. Questa volta, però, Puller è alle prese con un caso anomalo, dai delicati risvolti personali... Il cadavere di sua zia è stato rinvenuto a Paradise, una tranquilla cittadina della Florida, considerata un vero e proprio paradiso in terra dai numerosi turisti che ne affollano le incantevoli spiagge. Mentre la polizia locale è fermamente convinta che si tratti di uno sfortunato e tragico incidente, il ritrovamento di una lettera dal contenuto misterioso, scritta dalla donna poco prima di morire, rimette le carte in tavola e induce Puller a indagare sulla vicenda. Quello che l'agente speciale scoprirà gli infonderà il sospetto che la morte della zia non sia affatto casuale e che le bellezze naturali di Paradise nascondano una fitta rete di cospirazioni e depistaggi che, se portati a galla, potrebbero condurre a una sconvolgente verità...

So this is how a bestseller novel from 2012 feels like. I've been reluctant to dip in contemporary waters. Maybe I shouldn't have. I welcome the easy plot and prose. In fact, I prefer wasting my time on this kind of book rather than a murky and confusing masterpiece that is out of my grip. That doe
From the book description: “Army Special Agent John Puller is the best there is. A combat veteran, Puller is the man the U.S. Army relies on to investigate the toughest crimes facing the nation. Now he has a new case-but this time, the crime is personal: His aunt has been found dead in Paradise, Flo Leggi tutto
Was I reading the same book that people are raving about? This is poorly written. Reads like a first draft. Too many sentence fragments starting with the word and. I found myself mentally editing nearly every sentence. Baldacci has written good books, like Last Man Standing, but phoned this one in.
SWEDISH REVIEW Jag läste bok fyra just precis innan jag fick chansen att läsa denna bok. Men det bekymrade mig inte så mycket då jag fann den senaste boken i John Puller series fantastiskt bra och jag hade hoppas på chancen att få läsa de tidigare böckerna. John Puller är en man som har en vana a Leggi tutto
This thriller met all of my criteria: exciting plot, interesting characters (not just Puller), well written, suspenseful, several significant surprises. Baldacci is to be applauded for creating a successful new character and a new series. For those who complain that Puller seems like Reacher, I agre Leggi tutto
