A bounty hunter has his work cut out for him in this "high-voltage thriller" from the author of The Devil's Right Hand ( Booklist).
Bail enforcement officer Jack Keller is on the trail of Laurel Marks, a young woman from a respectable family who's fallen in with a dangerous crowd. To Jack, her backstory doesn't matter-she's broken parole and finding her is his ticket to a much-needed paycheck.
At the same time, Keller's girlfriend, Deputy Sheriff Marie Jones, is thrust into the investigation of a brutal murder at a local gas station. The owner is dead, shot execution-style, and his teenage stepson is missing-along with a stash of cash. As Marie digs deeper, her instincts warn her that things aren't as straightforward as they seem.
Meanwhile, across the county, a massacre unfolds in a church, and what once seemed like separate incidents begin to connect in ways that defy logic.
With the media feeding the frenzy, Jack and Marie find themselves caught in a storm of violence and deception, uncovering a conspiracy that could tear their community apart...
For fans of David Baldacci's high-stakes thrillers, Good Day in Hell delivers a relentless, pulse-pounding ride full of twists, peril, and a cast of unforgettable characters who must face their worst fears to survive.
