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 GUILTYWill 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.

Review "The story sings...Baldacci is a gifted storyteller, and he knows how to keep the pages turning."―Associated Press"Baldacci fans will not be disappointed. The action is slam-bang with his trademarked twist. Once past the climax, you'll find yourself flipping back and rereading to find the clues the author has sprinkled throughout."―Florida Times-Union"A fast-moving thriller that will force readers into that "zone," where you don't want to put the book down....Whether you are a diehard fan or a newcomer to his work, you will not be disappointed in THE GUILTY."―BookReporter"A first-class thriller...David Baldacci's four bestselling novels about government assassin Will Robie have straddled that line of edgy, high-concept suspense, augmented with a bit of the political thriller, and deep character studies. In THE GUILTY, Baldacci takes a different tack with a more personal, but just as thrilling tale about Will's past, giving compelling insight about how he became a man so willing to kill for his country."―Sun-Sentinel (FL)"Another tremendous entry in the best-selling thrillermaster's increasingly impressive resume...it is the relationships that truly stand out. Among the most noteworthy is the rapport between Robie and Reel, with the professional and personal trust and respect that the two share for one another - having risked it all for each other several times before - feeling believable and compelling, not to mention being the source of a fair amount of witty banter. The tense dynamic between Robie and his father is palpable as well, and their shifting relationship - and how they both deal with the wounds of the past - is one of the book's highlights...A labyrinthine journey full of dead ends and surprising turns, with new reveals doled out at regular intervals as the story builds to its shocking conclusion, a spectacular double-twist climax that will leave even the most jaded thriller readers impressed."―The Strand Magazine"It's indisputable that Baldacci's handling of action just gets better and better....the action in small-town Texas will end up rivaling anything Robie has encountered in his long years of serving his government."―NJ.com"David Baldacci has never been better than in THE GUILTY. His latest to feature conflicted assassin extraordinaire Will Robie takes the character - and series - to new heights....A stunning success from one of America's great literary talents."―Providence Sunday Journal

Unfortunately, David inserted several highly implausible plots into the story near the end. It required me to suspend all reason and buy into his bizarre plots and subplots. He took a great character and embroiled him and Reel in a strange unbelievable story. Baldacci is capable of better writing and better stories. Sorry I wasted my time reading it.
58 of 61 people found the following review helpful. What The Heck Happened to David Baldacci?????? By raskls This is a review I never imagine posting. It actually pains me to write this about someone who had once been one of my favorite authors.There was a time when David Baldacci was my second favorite author. He slowly dropped from #2 but remained in my top 5. Then he dropped somewhere between 6 and 10.Now?Now I sadly can state I’m close to giving up on him completely. His novels have become formulaic. Characters interchangeable. It almost feels like he uses the same template—and then just inserts whichever character. (Am I the only one who feels there no difference between King and Sean Maxwell and Will Robie?)I will say that, for some reason, I never got into ‘The Camel Club’ series. That was okay, though because I loved John Puller as well as King and Maxwell and Robie and Reel. His standalones were…good. But even those always felt like it could have been one in a series.Lately, the only novels of his I’ve enjoyed are the John Puller books. “The Forgotten,” which was the first Baldacci book I ever read, as well as ‘Zero Day’ and ‘The Escape’ were great novels.However, the last several non-Puller books I came across were really struggles to get through.First Family (K & M) was a big disappointment. The president’s family was so unbelievable the book was almost laughable. But I suffered through it cause…well, it’s Baldacci.I read ‘Split Second,’ the first K & M book. I finished it mostly due to the fact it was interesting to see how K&M started out. The story, the plot and the writing was a bit of a struggle. But I read it cause…well, it’s Baldacci.“The Innocent” was the first Will Robie novel. I found it awful, especially Robie’s sidekick who was 13 going on 35. It was not believable and read like a comic book…but I struggled through it because…well, it’s Baldacci.This evening I started reading ‘The Guilty.’ I was very excited to delve into his brand new novel. Well, I cant believe I’m writing this about a Baldacci novel but for the first time in my life, I simply could NOT finish it. Just an awful terrible book.The book started out great. The first 25 pages had me pulled in. Then—it turned to cr*p.I wont reveal a spoiler but I will say Will goes down to the sticks on Mississippi to investigate a murder. Now, I understand authors need to write dialogue to reflect the way people speak. The book needs to ‘ring true.’ But this was too much, too over the top. I’ve never been a fan of or have enjoyed southern writers such as Faulkner or Tennessee Williams. And that’s what this book became.After only 60 pages I gave up.Mayb’ it’s me, y’all but this here done book? Nosirree, it jus’ didn’ do nuthin’ fors me and I’ze jus’ foun’ it too har’ to read. I reckon I hadta read ev’ry sentence a coupla times to understan’ what they was talkin’ ‘bout there.See what I did there? That’s how this book read. I even flipped ahead to page 125, 150, 200 just to see if Robie would ever be conversing with people who don’t have thick southern accents.But even as I flipped forwards, I done seen more and mores words done there cut off and that’s when, by God, I reckon’ it was time fors me to given up on this here book.I’ve come to the sad realization that if you’ve read one Baldacci book, you’ve read them all.Why do so many characters have ‘daddy issues’, be it Michelle Maxwell, John Puller and now Will Robie?Why does every protagonist have deep-seeded self-doubt and always ALWAYS have mixed emotions about what they do?Will Robie comes from a small town in the swamps of Mississippi. Michelle Maxwell comes from a small town in Tennessee.Will Robie has issues with his father. Michelle Maxwell has issues with her father. John Puller has issues with father.Be it King or now Robie, they work for the government but always want to get out. They spend the novel believing this will be their last case. And sure enough, at the end, they agree to come back for one more.Why does every male lead (Maxwell, Robie, Oliver Stone) always appear as the principled straight man while all around him are sneaky.His books, sadly, have become so clichéd and so predictable and the writing almost so simplistic, they are preposterous.Sure enough, in one scene in ‘The Guilty’ Robie, distraught and mulling over getting out (as all Baldacci characters always do), is walking through the streets of Washington DC in the rain. Just him and his thoughts. Alone. All alone. Then, wouldn’t you know it but who comes out of the bushes all quiet and sneaky as if in a Hollywood spoof, but Robie’s boss—the msysterious shadow “Blue Man.” In a clichéd conversation, Robie asks, “How did you know I’d be here?” to which Blue Man replies, something like “I know the way you think.’ With that, Blue Man hands Robie the stereotypical manila folder, then retreats stealthily into the dense shrubbery seemingly swallowed by the darkness of Washington.Sheeesh!Just an awful book. This year Mr. Baldacci wrote 3 novels. 3 novels in 11 months. I really wish he’d writer slower but better. His books have become boringly predictable, his characters are all carbon copies of one another and his storylines have become mundane and uninteresting.

Will Robie, the hit man, still has a conscience By Suncoast This is #4 in David Baldacci's bestselling series about Will Robie, the hit man with a conscience. I had wondered how Baldacci could keep this kind of series going. His answer is to make it personal and go back to Robie's early days.While a major hit by Robie is successful, the collateral damage of the death of a young girl by the same bullet is too emotional for Robie to take. He is not able to complete his next assignment where a young boy is in the same room as his target.His controller tells him to take a break and get himself together again. At the same time, he tells him that his estranged father has been arrested for murder. Reluctantly Robie goes back to the small Mississippi town that he left over 20 years ago to find out what has happened. Robie has to face up to his past and the estranged father who physically and mentally abused him for so many years.I enjoyed the first half of the book (3.5 stars) as Robie adjusts again to life in the small deep-south town he abandoned a long time ago. Many things have changed. His father is now a Judge, has remarried a beautiful woman around Robie's age and has a 3-year-old son (so Robie now has a stepmother and half-brother). He starts to come to grips with the past and tries to work out if he can help his father - the only way to get his father released is to find the actual murderer. But his father is not very enthusiastic about his help.The second part of the book is basically a third-rate whodunit (2 stars). When his colleague Jessica Reel comes to help him the body count escalates. Robie and Reel discover more murders, blackmail, pedophilia, incest, and consanguinity. Of course along the way they get ambushed and chased by the baddies. The eventual exposure of the murderer was so ridiculous' that I actually laughed out loud.The main saving grace is that at the end Robie stands out as an honorable and caring individual - once again an hit man with a conscience.I was able to read and review this book because it was published in the Australian region on 27 October, but won't be released in the US until 17 November.
