'Baldacci is the master' - Jeffrey Archer

The start of a pulse-pounding original series from international number one bestselling author David Baldacci.

* * * * *

Walter Nash is a mild-mannered, happy and successful businessman with a loving family. He has never lifted a weight or fired a gun in anger, and he has no special physical or investigatory skills. The dark world is not a place he knows - until the FBI comes calling on the very day of his estranged Vietnam veteran father's funeral. They tell him that the company he works for is actually a criminal organization. And they need his help in a risky endeavour to bring it all down.

In doing so, Nash's perfect world is destroyed. And in seeking justice and revenge, Nash must become someone else: a man of violence and physicality who must find traction and purpose in the same dark world that invaded and crushed everything near and dear to him. Can Walter Nash reinvent himself into a weapon of righteousness and justice? The odds are not with him.

But bet against Walter Nash at your peril . . .
