The Forgotten by David Baldacci

The new Baldacci is a to-be-expected page turner.

Aunt Betsy has a hunch that there is something fishy in her hometown of Paradise, FL. She voices her suspicions in a letter to her brother, and now she’s dead.

Fortunately, Aunt Betsy’s nephew is Army Special Agent John Puller who is paranoid, relentless, and a skilled criminal investigator.   Puller travels to Paradise and finds that Betsy’s instincts were correct—Paradise stinks.

Much gunfire, mayhem, and murder ensue.
