A new preacher has also arrived in town, with his three rebellious daughters seemingly neck-deep in the mystery that entangles Robie’s father. The man he is accused of killing, a shifty lowlife character named Sherman Clancy, saw his once-dismal financial fortunes skyrocket and then plummet back to earth for mysterious reasons in the years between Will’s departure and Clancy’s murder. His father, once a second-rate lawyer, is now the county judge and living in a massive mansion with his new wife and child, a shift that drew the elder Robie more than his share of enemies in the town. But the Cantrell he returns to is vastly different than the one he’d left. Now forced to confront his painful past – much of which stems from his strained relationship with his father – Robie returns to Cantrell in an effort to resolve the wounds of his past and get his professional mojo back. Meanwhile, Robie’s father has been arrested for murder in the small Gulf Coast town of Cantrell, Mississippi, a place Will left immediately after high school and never looked back. When he freezes on his next op, unable to pull the trigger, Robie’s handler pulls him out of the field and gives him an opportunity to get his head right. Robie, a black ops CIA sniper, accidentally shoots a child while assassinating a corrupt foreign leader overseas. The fourth full-length book in David Baldacci’s Will Robie series (begun with 2012’s The Innocent), The Guilty is another tremendous entry in the best-selling thrillermaster’s increasingly impressive resume.
