Will Robie series Book #5
5★

Will Robie and Jessica Reel are two of the most lethal people alive. They're the ones the government calls in when the utmost secrecy is required to take out those who plot violence and mass destruction against the United States. And through every mission, one man has always had their backs: their handler, code-named Blue Man. But now, Blue Man is missing.

Last seen in rural Colorado, Blue Man had taken a rare vacation to go fly fishing in his hometown when he disappeared off the grid. With no communications since, the team can't help but fear the worst. Sent to investigate, Robie and Reel arrive in the small town of Grand to discover that it has its own share of problems. A stagnant local economy and a woefully understaffed police force have made this small community a magnet for crime, drugs, and a growing number of militant fringe groups. Robie and Reel find themselves up against an adversary with superior firepower and a home-court advantage, they'll be lucky if they make it out alive, with or without Blue Man .

Assassins Will Robie and Jessica Reel are forced to become detectives to solve a baffling disappearance. They are clearly out of their element but know that the country depends on the return of the man known as "Blue Man". The citizens of the small town of Grand, Colorado have issues with strangers asking questions. Both Robie and Reel have stumbled into a vast conspiracy that will probably get them killed. To make matters all the worse they are having personal issues. Robie has fallen in love with Reel. Never a good idea in their line of work. As always, an excellent book from a truly talented author. David Baldacci has been one of my very favorites from his first book on and that has certainly not changed. Another excellent series.
