The Forgotten

By David Baldacci

Book Overview

When Army Special Agent John Puller finds his aunt dead in Florida, he suspects it's no accident...and as local police dismiss the case, the cracks begin to show in a picture-perfect town in this #1 New York Times bestselling thriller.

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, Florida.

A picture-perfect town on Florida's Gulf Coast, Paradise thrives on the wealthy tourists and retirees drawn to its gorgeous weather and beaches. The local police have ruled his aunt's death an unfortunate, tragic accident. But just before she died, she mailed a letter to Puller's father, telling him that beneath its beautiful veneer, Paradise is not all it seems to be.

What Puller finds convinces him that his aunt's death was no accident...and that the palm trees and sandy beaches of Paradise may hide a conspiracy so shocking that some will go to unthinkable lengths to make sure the truth is never revealed.

Not worth the money

This is the second book I’ve bought that has had a broken back. This one was totally trashed. Pretty pitiful!

Left me wanting more.

This is a story is about Puller and Mecho teaming up to capture one of the worst slavers in the area of Florida. There is a lot of action in this book. Some unthinkable. Impossible almost. There’s a dead aunt, a dad with Alzheimer’s, 2 young boys thatt disappear, an elderly couple that is murdered, friends help friends, but foe’s aren’t who you think they are. However at some points some will think “seriously”. It’s almost like you are reading about the bionic man in this book. Puller is almost the invincible Superman. It’s makes you want to read “one more chapter”.

Really good read

Really good read. Part of the John Puller Series and I enjoyed each book in the series. Baldacci is becoming one of my favorite writers.
