The Guilty [Paperback] Baldacci, David

Will Robie is the US government's most lethal operator — the man they send when failure isn't an option. But when he gets word that his father has been arrested for murder in his Mississippi hometown, the assassin faces a mission no training prepared him for: going home. His father, a local superior court judge, stands accused of killing the town's most hated man. The evidence is damning. The motive is clear. But nothing about this case adds up, and Robie quickly realizes someone powerful wants his family destroyed. Baldacci delivers a taut thriller that's part conspiracy, part family reckoning — Robie's hunt for the truth pulls him into a web of corruption that reaches far beyond one small Southern town. For fans of Lee Child and Vince Flynn who want their action grounded in genuine emotional stakes.
