The Forgotten / David Baldacci / 422 pages

Baldacci brings back John Puller in this novel.  Puller reminds me so much of Jack Reacher.  Both characters are military men trying to do what is right and always doing it on the line between legal and illegal all in the name of justice.  If you crave action, there is plenty.  If you like strong, silent men who are survivors in the most dire situations, you will be happy.  This plot - driven novel also shines some light on the vile practice of human trafficking and the billions of dollars going into rich men's pockets.  When the government cracks down on drugs and guns, greed and evil find new ways to maintain their pipelines of money.
