As I said in my review of "Zero Day" (John Puller, Bk 1), "If you know 'Jack Reacher' from the excellent Lee Child series of novels, you'll know everything you need to know about John Puller, the hero in this novel." Same can be said for The Forgotten. Dare I say that Puller is a "gentler" version of Jack Reacher? Reacher is too much of a loner to own a cat; Puller has one that he cares for and loves. Reacher doesn't let himself get too close to people; Puller has some meaningful relationships and can even allow a tear appear in his eyes from time to time.

The Forgotten takes you on Puller's journey of justice and redemption, capturing you from the first page and sweeping you along. The ending is very satisfying, but I didn't want the book to be over. I want MORE John Puller novels, and hope that Baldacci will continue with this series.
