Dreißig Jahre ist es her, dass John Pullers Mutter spurlos verschwand. Der Fall wurde nie aufgeklärt. Doch nun tritt plötzlich eine frühere Freundin der Familie mit einer ungeheuerlichen Behauptung auf: Puller senior hätte damals seine eigene Frau ermordet. Tatsächlich zeigt sich, dass der Beschuldigte in der fraglichen Nacht nicht im Militäreinsatz war, wie stets behauptet, sondern heimlich nach Fort Monroe zurückgekommen ist. Fatal daran: Puller senior ist seit Längerem dement und kann nichts zu seiner Verteidigung vorbringen. Also liegt es an Spezialagent John Puller junior, den Familiennamen reinzuwaschen. Was er nicht weiß: Auf der anderen Seite der USA ist gerade ein Schwerverbrecher aus dem Gefängnis freigekommen. Auch ihn zieht es nach Fort Monroe - um finstere Rache zu nehmen für etwas, was ihm vor dreißig Jahren angetan wurde ...

Klappentext:
Par. No Man\'s Land by David Baldacci is an exciting thriller featuring special investigator John Puller, who is pursuing a case that will send him deep into his own troubled past.
One man demands justice . . .
John Puller is the US Army\'s most tenacious investigator, but he is not equipped to face the truth about his mother\'s disappearance thirty years ago. New evidence has come to light suggesting that Puller\'s father - a highly decorated army veteran - may have murdered his wife. When Puller\'s friend, intelligence operative Veronica Knox, arrives on the scene, he realizes that there is far more to this case than he first thought. He knows that nothing will prevent him from discovering what really happened to his mother - even if it means proving that his father is a killer.
. . . the other seeks revenge
Paul Rogers has just been paroled after spending ten years in a high-security prison for murder. And with his freedom comes a desire to pay back old debts. Harbouring a dark past that changed him in unimaginable ways, Rogers embarks on a journey across the country, set on a path of revenge against the people who took away his humanity.
