I love David Baldacci's books!! This one is no exception. Web London is a member of the FBI's HRT [Hostage Rescue Team] and has proven his bravery time and again. Then the unthinkable happens...during a rescue mission, Web freezes up and is unable to advance with the rest of his team. As a result he watches helplessly as they are all gunned down in an ambush, 6 brave men, all his friends die before his eyes. When he is able to move he takes out the gun emplacements single-handedly. But it's too late to save the others, and he questions himself, why did he freeze? What happened to him? Not only does he question himself, but the FBI wants answers, too. The plot thickens as Web finds links to that mission with another one involving a white supremist group in which a 10-year-old hostage was killed. Lots of twists and turns, drug dealers, revenge, it's got it all!! Not a quick read, but definitely one I recommend.
