Inhaltsangabe

From the Sunday Times number one bestselling author, David Baldacci, The Escape is the third title in this fast-paced, breathtaking series.

CID investigator, John Puller, has returned from his latest case in Florida to learn that his brother, Bobby, on death row at Leavenworth Prison for national security crimes, has escaped. Preliminary investigations show that he may have had help in his breakout. Now he's on the run, and in disguise, and he's the US government's number one target.

John Puller has a dilemma. Which comes first, loyalty to his country or to his brother? Bobby has state secrets that certain people will literally kill for. But blood is thicker than water, and the brothers are close although even John does not know for sure what Bobby really did for the government, nor if he's even guilty of his crimes. It becomes swiftly apparent, however, that Bobby's role was powerful and far-reaching.

With the help of John's long-time friend and colleague, General Julie Carson, both brothers move closer to the truth from their opposing directions. And this case puts John Puller in a place he thought he'd never be, on the other side of the law, where even his skills as an investigator, and his strength as a fighter, might not be enough to save him. And his brother.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

THERE WAS ONE PRISONER MISSING. ONLY ONE. BUT HE WAS AN IMPORTANT ONE.
Government investigator John Puller will stop at nothing to expose the truth. Although some cases land too close to home. His brother, Robert, convicted of treason and an expert in nuclear weaponry and cyber-security, has escaped from the US army’s most secure prison. Now he’s on the run, and Puller is ordered to bring him in to face justice.


Facing a terrible dilemma, Puller must decide which comes first: loyalty to his country, or to his brother. Blood is thicker than water, but national security is on the line.


As the case progresses, troubling details soon emerge about Robert’s conviction . . . and someone out there doesn’t want the truth to ever come to light. As the nationwide manhunt grows more intense, Puller’s masterful skills as an investigator may not be enough to save his brother. Or himself.
