In a new series from international bestselling author David Baldacci, John Puller is a loner with few possessions-by preference-and necessity. Puller is a government asset, assigned to assassinate certain enemy targets. Puller has been sent on a mission to kill an embedded cell operative and his family. He travels to their home and executes the man, but he saves their baby. As he is leaving the scene he hears shots in some nearby woods and finds another family all dead. Puller's military superiors, unaware of his connection to the murders, assign him to investigate the killings in the woods.
