From the Sunday Times number one bestselling author, David Baldacci, The Escape is the third title in this fast-paced, breathtaking series.
Military CID investigator, John Puller, has returned from his latest case in Florida to learn that his brother, Bobby, on death row at Leavenworth Military 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 military'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.

It is a very good plot. Where Mr. Baldacci falters is closing the book. The moment the mystery is solved , the book should rush to a close. Here it drags on and on . For instance, the Cabin episode in North Virginia does not add any value to the story at all. Same with the subsequent one. Another irritant is that the characters keep talking unnecessarily. Look at the episode where there is only 8 minutes to diffuse the incendiary pack and how long the characters are talking, almost for 15 minutes, that too on unwanted stuff. Learn from Fredrick Forsyth on how it is done.
