This book is a great book. Thirty years ago, when Puller and his brother were boys, their mother mysteriously vanished one evening while they were stationed at the military post of Fort Monroe. Now a letter has appeared, written by one of her friends at the time, that accuses their father, a former three-star general, of murdering her. Puller feels compelled to investigate the allegations made in that letter.
Meanwhile, a convicted killer is released from prison and begins an odyssey to seek revenge on the people responsible for a grievous wrong he feels was perpetrated on him thirty years ago at a secret installation at Fort Monroe.
As these two quests converge, it becomes apparent that things aren't as they seem on the surface, and that powerful forces are in play determined to block Puller's investigation, as well as destroy the paroled convict.
I really enjoyed this book. The characterizations were fully three-dimensional. The pacing was tight but not breathless. The plot was believable, and engrossing. A thoroughly enjoyable reading experience.
