In that time, Dan Robie--a local attorney and pillar of the community--has been elected town judge. Despite this, most of Cantrell is aligned against Dan. His guilt is assumed.To make matters worse, Dan has refused to do anything to defend himself. When Robie tries to help, his father responds only with anger and defiance. Could Dan really be guilty?

But Robie is now a stranger to his hometown, an outsider, a man who has forsaken his past and his family. His attempts to save his father are met with distrust and skepticism...and violence.Unlike the missions Robie undertook in the service of his country, where his target was clearly defined, digging into his father's case only reveals more questions.

And this time, there may be no escape for either of them.

Will Robie escaped his small Gulf Coast hometown of Cantrell, Mississippi after high school, severing all personal ties, and never looked back. Not once. Not until the unimaginable occurs. His father, Dan Robie, has been arrested and charged with murder. Father and son haven't spoken or seen each other since the day Robie left town. In that time, Dan Robie -- a local attorney and pillar of the community -- has been elected town judge. Despite this, most of Cantrell is aligned against Dan. His guilt is assumed.

Similar Authors From NoveList
NoveList provides detailed suggestions for other authors you might want to read if you enjoyed this book. Suggestions are based on recommendations from librarians and other contributors.
The novels of Stuart Woods and David Baldacci use themes of politics, corporate secrets, and espionage to advance their breakneck plots rife with suspense and power-hungry characters. -- Tara Bannon Williamson
Screenwriter Stephen Cannell's adventure, suspense, and thriller novels may be told in more blunt prose than David Baldacci's, but there are often similar themes -- conspiracy and corruption -- and the pacing is every bit as page-turning. -- Kim Burton
Though David Baldacci pens thrillers while Jeffrey Archer writes suspense, both authors are known for their fast-paced, intricately twisted plots filled with political skullduggery. They're also alike in their use of good versus evil, black-and-white characters, and engaging heroes. -- Ellen Guerci
Just like David Baldacci, Brad Meltzer sets his page-turning thrillers against diverse high-power backgrounds -- financial, political, law enforcement, legal. He also offers action-filled plots and sympathetic protagonists battling powerful and deadly opponents. -- Krista Biggs
Readers who enjoy the fast-paced, atmospheric suspense stories of David Baldacci might also enjoy the novels of Richard Doetsch, who writes suspense novels that are intricately plotted, fast-paced, and plot-driven. -- Nanci Milone Hill
Stephen W. Frey and David Baldacci pen edge-of-your-seat suspense novels featuring ruthless businessmen, trained assassins, and FBI agents. Both writers maintain fast-paced, intricate plots punctuated by intrigue, double-crosses, and violence. -- Mike Nilsson
David Baldacci and Kyle Mills both craft suspenseful conspiracy-based thrillers in which their characters (and readers along with them) are unsure whom to trust, and where it will all lead. -- Kim Burton
Like David Baldacci, James Grippando writes high-energy suspense stories featuring corruption and conspiracies, although Grippando's are more violent. Likeable characters put in difficult situations fill his complex, intricately plotted novels. -- Kim Burton
It's hard to believe that anyone who has read David Baldacci has overlooked John Grisham, but for such a reader Grisham's tense, fast-paced, suspense-building stories will appeal -- especially if less graphically violent content is also welcome. -- Kim Burton
These authors' works have the genres "spy fiction" and "humorous stories"; the subjects "conspiracies," "assassins," and "international intrigue"; and characters that are "likeable characters."
These authors' works have the subjects "conspiracies," "assassins," and "kidnapping."
These authors' works have the genre "hardboiled fiction"; and the subjects "private investigators," "assassins," and "fugitives."
