What is your first reading book of 2012? If you want some hardcore military thriller conducted by a new hero, then look no further, Zero Day makes the perfect read this new year. A winner in all aspects. I love David Baldacci, his books always deliver, much like Michael Connelly.
Hardback blurb: Zero Day (published 31 October 2011) by David Baldacci introduces Special Agent John Puller, a war hero and a top investigator in the US Army's CID (Criminal Investigative Division). When a family with military connections is brutally murdered in a remote area of West Virginia, Puller is called in to investigate, and soon suspects the case has wider implications.
As the body count rises he teams up with local homicide detective Samantha Cole. As the web of deceit is revealed, it quickly becomes apparent that there's much more to this case than they had first thought. It is an investigation where nothing is as it seems, and nothing can be taken at face value.
When Puller and Cole discover a dangerous situation in the making, Puller finds he must turn to the one person who can help avert certain catastrophe. A person he has known all his life.
In a breathtaking rollercoaster race against time, Cole fears for the community in which she was raised, and Puller knows he has to overcome the enemies of his country to avoid far reaching disaster.
But, in the end, you can't kill what you can't see coming...
Let's hear it from Baldacci:
