The Escape Artist by Brad Meltzer

2.5

---

Zig works at Dover Air Force Base, helping put to rest the bodies of those who die on top-secret missions. Nola was a childhood friend of Zig's daughter and someone who once saved his daughter's life. So when Zig realizes Nola is still alive, he's determined to find her. Who is Nola Brown? Nola is a mystery ? Nola is trouble. Nola is supposed to be dead. Her body was found on a plane that mysteriously fell from the sky as it left a secret military base in the Alaskan wilderness. Her commanding officer verifies she's dead.

This could have easily been a 3.5 maybe 4 if Brad Meltzer wasn’t so nastyyyy. In 2018 using the n-word hard ER. Bout 30 times is absolutely insane . I really enjoyed the Nola story line. Zig was absolutely annoying dare I say I bit creepy. Nola and his daughter were not friends did not speak and yes she save his daughter life. But after a while it just became overbearing. Men being men. Nice story. Nasty author.
