The Pendergast Series #17
GoodReads Rating: 4.15/5
What begins as a manhunt
for the missing daughter of a wealthy tech billionaire becomes something
altogether different when the young woman's body is discovered in an
abandoned warehouse in Kew Gardens, Queens, the head nowhere to be
found. It appears there may be two killers on the loose--one responsible
for the young woman's death, another responsible for the mutilation. A
pair of such dastardly killers requires a team of equally talented
investigators. Luckily, both Vincent D'Agosta and Special Agent
Pendergast are back in town.
D'Agosta hopes that working a case
back on his home turf for the first time in years will reinvigorate the
FBI Special Agent and give him an opportunity to flex his investigative
might. But neither is prepared to face a killer--or killers--as
diabolical as this. It will take all of Pendergast and D'Agosta's
intelligence and strength simply to match wits--let alone stay alive.

Will Robie is the
government’s most professional, disciplined, and lethal assassin. He
infiltrates the most hostile countries in the world, defeats our
enemies’ advanced security measures, and eliminates threats before they
ever reach our shores.
But now, his skills have left him. Sent overseas on a critical
assignment, he fails, unable to pull the trigger. Absent his talents,
Robie is a man without a mission, and without a purpose.
To recover what he has lost, Robie must confront what he has tried to forget for over twenty years: his own past.
THE GUILTY
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.
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?
With the equally formidable Jessica Reel at his side, Robie ignores his
father’s wishes and begins his own desperate investigation into the
case. 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. Robie is drawn into the hidden underside of
Cantrell, where he must face the unexpected and possibly deadly
consequences of the long-ago choices made by father and son. And this
time, there may be no escape for either of them.

The President knows it’s a perilous, high-risk assignment. If he
gives the order, he has the opportunity to take down a global menace,
once and for all. If the mission fails, he would face certain
impeachment, and the threats against the nation would multiply. So the
president turns to the one team that can pull off the impossible: Will
Robie and his partner, Jessica Reel.
Together, Robie and Reel’s talents as assassins are unmatched. But
there are some in power who don’t trust the pair. They doubt their
willingness to follow orders. And they will do anything to see that the
two assassins succeed, but that they do not survive.
As they prepare for their mission, Reel faces a personal crisis that
could well lead old enemies right to her doorstep, resurrecting the
ghosts of her earlier life and bringing stark danger to all those close
to her. And all the while, Robie and Reel are stalked by a new
adversary: an unknown and unlikely assassin, a woman who has trained her
entire life to kill, and who has her own list of targets–a list that
includes Will Robie and Jessica Reel.

America has enemies – ruthless people that the police, the FBI, even
the military can’t stop. That’s when the U.S. government calls on Will
Robie, a stone cold hitman who never questions orders and always nails
his target. But Will Robie may have just made the first – and last –
mistake of his career…
It begins with a hit gone wrong. Robie is dispatched to eliminate a
target unusually close to home in Washington, D.C. But something about
this mission doesn’t seem right to Robie, and he does the unthinkable.
He refuses to kill. Now, Robie becomes a target himself and must escape
from his own people.
Fleeing the scene, Robie crosses paths with a wayward teenage girl, a
fourteen-year-old runaway from a foster home. But she isn’t an ordinary
runaway — her parents were murdered, and her own life is in danger.
Against all of his professional habits, Robie rescues her and finds he
can’t walk away. He needs to help her.
Even worse, the more Robie learns about the girl, the more he’s
convinced she is at the center of a vast cover-up, one that may explain
her parents’ deaths and stretch to unimaginable levels of power.
Now, Robie may have to step out of the shadows in order to save this girl’s life… and perhaps his own.

Stephen King returns to the
characters and territory of one of his most popular novels ever, The
Shining, in this instantly riveting novel about the now middle-aged Dan
Torrance (the boy protagonist of The Shining) and the very special
12-year-old girl he must save from a tribe of murderous paranormals.
On highways across America, a tribe of people called The True Knot
travel in search of sustenance. They look harmless – mostly old, lots of
polyester, and married to their RVs. But as Dan Torrance knows, and
spunky 12-year-old Abra Stone learns, The True Knot are quasi-immortal,
living off the “steam” that children with the “shining” produce when
they are slowly tortured to death.
Haunted by the inhabitants of the Overlook Hotel where he spent one
horrific childhood year, Dan has been drifting for decades, desperate to
shed his father’s legacy of despair, alcoholism, and violence. Finally,
he settles in a New Hampshire town, an AA community that sustains him,
and a job at a nursing home where his remnant “shining” power provides
the crucial final comfort to the dying. Aided by a prescient cat, he
becomes “Doctor Sleep.”
Then Dan meets the evanescent Abra Stone, and it is her spectacular
gift, the brightest shining ever seen, that reignites Dan’s own demons
and summons him to a battle for Abra’s soul and survival. This is an
epic war between good and evil, a gory, glorious story that will thrill
the millions of hyper-devoted fans of The Shining and wildly satisfy
anyone new to the territory of this icon in the King canon.

At Mile 81 on the Maine Turnpike is a boarded up rest stop on a
highway in Maine. It’s a place where high school kids drink and get into
the kind of trouble high school kids have always gotten into. It’s the
place where Pete Simmons goes when his older brother, who’s supposed to
be looking out for him, heads off to the gravel pit to play
“paratroopers over the side.” Pete, armed only with the magnifying glass
he got for his tenth birthday, finds a discarded bottle of vodka in the
boarded up burger shack and drinks enough to pass out.
Not much later, a mud-covered station wagon (which is strange because
there hadn’t been any rain in New England for over a week) veers into
the Mile 81 rest area, ignoring the sign that says “closed, no
services.” The driver’s door opens but nobody gets out.
Doug Clayton, an insurance man from Bangor, is driving his Prius to a
conference in Portland. On the backseat are his briefcase and suitcase
and in the passenger bucket is a King James Bible, what Doug calls “the
ultimate insurance manual,” but it isn’t going to save Doug when he
decides to be the Good Samaritan and help the guy in the broken down
wagon. He pulls up behind it, puts on his four-ways, and then notices
that the wagon has no plates.
Ten minutes later, Julianne Vernon, pulling a horse trailer, spots
the Prius and the wagon, and pulls over. Julianne finds Doug Clayton’s
cracked cell phone near the wagon door and gets too close herself. By
the time Pete Simmons wakes up from his vodka nap, there are a half a
dozen cars at the Mile 81 rest stop. Two kids Rachel and Blake Lussier
and one horse named Deedee are the only living left. Unless you maybe
count the wagon…
