Worth reading: Yes

Summary: Shaw is about to retire, his employer doesn’t know it yet, but Shaw has plans. One of them is marriage, the other is spending the rest of his life with the woman of his dreams. Shaw is a loner, his job is easier if he is. The fact that he’s getting married is a really big thing for him.

Nicholas Creel has money. A lot of money. He’s not the richest man in the world, but he could be, very easily. To him, the world has settled into fighting running skirmishes with extremists. This doesn’t suit Creel or the bottom line of his business. What he needs is the return of the cold war, and he knows just how to do it.

Anne is smart, very smart. She is also about to be married to Shaw with the blessing of her parents. She works for a quiet think tank, not on the radar for anyone or anything. That is until men storm Anne’s building killing everyone inside, including Anne.

Shaw is now going back to work.

This is a very good read and thanks to Craig for loaning it to me. It is similar in some aspects to Lee Child’s Reacher character. Though in a head to head I’d put Reacher over Shaw.
I’ll be investigating David Baldacci a little further I think.
