Baldacci’s ‘No Man’s Land’ an unforgettable read
Print Edition
DAVID Baldacci’s typical action thriller features a character in dire emotional straits. This gives the novel dramatic depth and intensity, making it an unforgettable read. It has a strong element of science fiction, is action-packed and thought-provoking.
His latest, “No Man’s Land,” has two such troubled characters: John Puller and Paul Rogers. Puller is a military investigator whose accomplishments were chronicled in several previous Baldacci novels. He is visiting his father, who is hospitalized with dementia, when two Army officials arrive with devastating news. The Army, they announce, has reopened the 30-year-old case of his mother’s disappearance after receiving a letter accusing his father of his wife’s murder.
Puller Sr., a three-star general, wasn’t a suspect back then because he was believed to have been out of the country. However, new evidence and the letter show that he was at Fort Monroe, Virginia, where the family lived at that time, a few hours before Jackie Puller’s disappearance.
Meanwhile, Paul Rogers is on parole in an unnamed town after serving 10 years for killing a man. Rogers, an unnaturally strong man with a mysterious implant in the back of his head, has to constantly fight his impulse to kill. He has one goal: to return to Fort Monroe, to take care of some “unfinished business.”
