Book 1
Zero Day is the explosive first instalment in David Baldacci's thrilling John Puller series.
Distinguished as a top investigator in the US government, John Puller is called in to conduct an enquiry into the brutal murders of a family in a remote area of West Virginia. It soon becomes clear that the case has wider implications and as the body count rises he teams up with local homicide detective Samantha Cole. As the web of deceit is revealed, it quickly becomes apparent that there's much more to this case than they had first thought. It is an investigation where nothing is as it seems, and nothing can be taken at face value.
When Puller and Cole discover a dangerous situation in the making, Puller finds he must turn to the one person who can help avert certain catastrophe. A person he has known all his life.
In a breathtaking rollercoaster race against time, Cole fears for the community in which she was raised, and Puller knows he has to overcome the enemies of his country to avoid far reaching disaster.
But in the end, you can't kill what you can't see is coming . . .
Book 2
Military criminal investigator John Puller is drawn closer to home when his aunt is found dead in her house in Paradise, Florida. The local police have ruled the death as an accident, but Puller finds evidence to suggest that she may well have been murdered. On the surface the town lives up to its name, but as Puller digs deeper he realises that this town and its inhabitants are more akin to Hell than Paradise. His belief is confirmed as evidence of strange and inexplicable events come to light. And when Puller learns the truth about what is happening in this once sleepy town, he knows that his discoveries will impact far wider than Paradise.

Book 3
From the Sunday Times number one bestselling author, David Baldacci, The Escape is the third title in this fast-paced, breathtaking series.
Military CID investigator John Puller has returned from his latest case to learn that his brother, Robert, once a major in the United States Air Force and an expert in nuclear weaponry and cyber-security, has escaped from the Army's most secure prison. Preliminary investigations show that Robert - convicted of treason - may have had help in his breakout. Now he's on the run, and he's the military's number one target.
John Puller has a dilemma. Which comes first: loyalty to his country, or to his brother? Blood is thicker than water, but Robert has state secrets which certain people will kill for. John does not know for sure the true nature of Robert's crimes, nor if he's even guilty. It quickly becomes clear, however, that his brother's responsibilities were powerful and far-reaching.
With the help of US intelligence officer Veronica Knox, both brothers move closer to the truth from their opposing directions. As the case begins to force John Puller into a place he thought he'd never be - on the other side of the law - even his skills as an investigator, and his strength as a warrior, might not be enough to save him. Or his brother.
Book 3
Es una cárcel inexpugnable. Sus sistemas de seguridad son los más sofisticados del mundo y hay tantas cámaras de vigilancia que no hay un solo milímetro que no quede bajo control. Ninguno de los reclusos sueña con escapar porque saben que es imposible. Hasta ahora.
Robert, el hermano mayor de John Puller, fue condenado por alta traición y crímenes contra la seguridad nacional. Su inexplicable huida de la principal prisión militar de los Estados Unidos le ha convertido en el criminal más buscado del país. En el gobierno, algunos creen que la mejor opción para capturar a Robert vivo es John Puller, el hombre siempre necesario para investigar los crímenes más duros que su país debe afrontar.
John Puller acepta la misión más difícil de su carrera, pero muy pronto descubrirá que los mismos que han logrado condenar a su hermano, le prefieren muerto. Y no solo a él. Puede que ni su habilidad extraordinaria como investigador, ni su fortaleza, ni su experiencia sean suficientes para salvar la vida de ambos.
Un trepidante thriller al más puro estilo David Baldacci donde las conspiraciones y los giros de la trama conducen al lector hasta un final completamente inesperado.
