David Baldacci (Get this book)Mysterian Baldacci serves up a gently ironic tale of mayhem, this time set in idyllic Florida. John Puller is a classic Baldacci character, a combat-wise Army special agent whose life has been spent in service. The cliches are refreshingly few, and Baldacci writes sympathetically of the not-so-golden years at the end of life, when Puller's father, once the commander of 100,000 men in battle, is "now intently watching a TV show where people guessed the prices of everyday stuff in an attempt to win more stuff." A solid thriller.--Kirkus
