The Guilty

De: David Baldacci

Narrado por: Kyf Brewer

Will Robie is the government's most professional, disciplined, and lethal assassin. He infiltrates the most hostile countries in the world, defeats our enemies' advanced security measures, and eliminates threats before they ever reach our shores.

But now his skills have left him. Sent overseas on a critical assignment, he fails, unable to pull the trigger. Absent his talents, Robie is a man without a mission and without a purpose.

To recover what he has lost, Robie must confront what he has tried to forget for over 20 years: his own past.

The Guilty

Will Robie escaped his small Gulf Coast hometown of Cantrell, Mississippi, after high school, severing all personal ties, and never looked back. Not once. Not until the unimaginable occurs. His father, Dan Robie, has been arrested and charged with murder.

Father and son haven't spoken or seen each other since the day Robie left town. In that time Dan Robie - a local attorney and pillar of the community - has been elected town judge. Despite this, most of Cantrell is aligned against Dan. His guilt is assumed.

To make matters worse, Dan has refused to do anything to defend himself. When Robie tries to help, his father responds only with anger and defiance. Could Dan really be guilty?

With the equally formidable Jessica Reel at his side, Robie ignores his father's wishes and begins his own desperate investigation into the case. But Robie is now a stranger to his hometown, an outsider, a man who has forsaken his past and his family. His attempts to save his father are met with distrust and skepticism...and violence.

Unlike the missions Robie undertook in the service of his country, where his target was clearly defined, digging into his father's case only reveals more questions. Robie is drawn into the hidden underside of Cantrell, where he must face the unexpected and possibly deadly consequences of the long-ago choices made by father and son.

Great for long road trip

Lots of twists, unpredictable ending. We like it when there are more than one narrators like this book, really helps with uniquely identifying characters.

A good read

This is one of those books that you can’t put down. At least not for long.

always a good read

love robbie and reel they are so awesome together. always on the edge of your seat

that voice!

Kyf Brewer has a great voice. I always enjoy the Baldacci books. I would recommend.

needs to be more

Wish David would write at least one more Will Robie book. Will and Jessica make a great team. Excellent listen. Excellent series.

Another great one!

Another great one! A must listen. Don't listen in the car. you will miss your turn like I did.

Not a lot of action but good.

Not much action but good, nonetheless. I like the narrator. I'm glad Robie and Puller have different narration...they were starting to blend.

This was worth the credit and time. Now looking forward to the next Robie installment.

Good story.

I preferred Ron McLarty reading of the Will Robie series. But this reader did a good job.

Excellent read

Another terrific adventure for Robbie and Real. Nice plot twists and thorough background geographic pictures. Thanks

Very good

Loved it a lot. Good story line. Liked the twist at the end. Hope more to come.
