Once, when I picked up a book from the local library, the librarian asked to tell her what I thought about the book when I would bring it back. Well, why not write a few lines about all the books I read so everybody could see what I thought about it? I'm often also happy to have friends recommend a certain book or tell me this and that is not really worth reading. I won't comment about the tons of books I have read so far, but about books I read from now on.

This second book in Baldacci's John Puller series is better than the first one. The plot, while still big, is not that unbelievably big and John Puller, the main hero, is not 200% unfailing like in the previous book. In the usual Baldacci way, the individual chapters are short and easy to follow, there is lots of action and the hardest thing about the book is to put it away for the night before you've read it all. Often, however, it is not quite comprehensible how Puller comes to certain conclusions.
While still on recuperation after the last assignment, a mysterious letter from his aunt Betsy reaches John Puller, a top army investigator. Something seems not to be in order, but his aunt does not spell out what. So John, in order to learn about Betsy's concerns, pays her a visit; something he hasn't done for too many years anyways. Only, when John arrives at her house, she's not there. Not only has he a run-in with the local police in no time, but also with the local mob. And yet some other guys are following him.
