Description
From New York Times and #1 internationally bestselling author Steve Berry comes a suspense thriller in the vein of David Baldacci, John Grisham, and Harlan Coben—thirty years in the making. This is Steve Berry like you’ve never read him before.
Brent Walker is returning home to Concord, a quaint town in central Georgia nestled close to the Savannah River. Ten years back, after the sudden death of his wife, Brent closed his law practice, said goodbye to his parents, and moved three hundred miles away to a self-imposed exile. His father died two years ago, and now Brent’s coming back to take care of his ailing mother, hired by Southern Republic Pulp and Paper Company as an assistant general counsel.
For decades Southern Republic has invested heavily in Concord, building a paper mill and creating a thriving community, one where its employees live, work, and retire. But the genteel sheen of this town merely skims the surface, and when a list of cryptic code suddenly surfaces Brent starts to see the cracks. Southern Republic’s success is based largely on a highly unorthodox and deadly system to secretly control costs, one that provides a huge edge over its competition. Only the three owners of the company know this, but one of them, Christopher Bozin, has now had a change of heart. Brent’s return to Concord, a move Bozin personally orchestrated, provides a chance at redemption that Bozin desperately wants to exploit. So a plan is set into motion—one that will not only criminally implicate Bozin’s two partners—it will also place Brent Walker right in the crosshairs of those who want him dead.
With only one course left available to him.
Find and reveal the shocking secret of the list.
