The Guilty by David Baldacci
5.0
Will Robie is one of Baldacci's best protagonists. His conscience always seems to be in conflict with his profession, that of a US government assassin. His dry humor and synergy with Jessica Reel, who possesses an equally sharp, ironic wit, makes then fun to read about as they nonchalantly (seemingly) go about dispatching bad guys with near perfect execution of orders (with the occasional FUBAR that tests every skill they possess).
Baldacci's plots are some of the most ingenious I encounter in my thriller reading. The plot for The Guilty was slightly predictable (my wife and I thought we figured out who the real " bad guy" was well before the end, but Baldacci put a unique twist on that fact that kept us guessing as to the killer's motives until nearly the last page.
Another must read for Baldacci fans.
