About this ebook

Combat veteran and U. S. Army investigator John Puller is on the hunt for justice with the help of a homicide detective -- but as they face deceptions and dead ends, a powerful force threatens to stop them forever.
John Puller is a combat veteran and the best military investigator in the U.S. Army's Criminal Investigative Division. His father was an Army fighting legend, and his brother is serving a life sentence for treason in a federal military prison. Puller has an indomitable spirit and an unstoppable drive to find the truth.
Now, Puller is called out on a case in a remote, rural area in West Virginia coal country far from any military outpost. Someone has stumbled onto a brutal crime scene, a family slaughtered. The local homicide detective, a headstrong woman with personal demons of her own, joins forces with Puller in the investigation. As Puller digs through deception after deception, he realizes that absolutely nothing he's seen in this small town, and no one in it, are what they seem. Facing a potential conspiracy that reaches far beyond the hills of West Virginia, he is one man on the hunt for justice against an overwhelming force.

Ratings and reviews

Found the.main characters dialogue silly and over the top ie: "...the army is my wife" or "...it's called urban warfare." It could have been probably 150 pages shorter than it is. Only because of the dragged out, tiresome dialogue that was un-needed and seemed forced by the writer... Oh, and the story/premise was totally unbelievable.

Puller is no more than a watered down Jack Reacher, somewhat boring and slower paced. Zero day is an easy read which is still hard to finish. Save your money on this one. I expect more from David Baldacci than a poor quality Lee Child knock off.

This was also my first Baldacchi book. I was thoroughly engrossed. One of the best books, I've read in a long time. Really kept me up some nights reading.
