David Baldacci
Aloysius Archer, the straight-talking World War II veteran fresh out of prison, returns in this riveting new thriller from number-one New York Times best-selling author David Baldacci.
The 1950s are on the horizon, and Archer is in dire need of a fresh start after a nearly fatal detour in Poca City. So Archer hops on a bus and begins the long journey out west to California, where rumor has it there is money to be made if you’re hard-working, lucky, criminal - or all three.
Along the way, Archer stops in Reno, where a stroke of fortune delivers him a wad of cash and an eye-popping blood-red 1939 Delahaye convertible - plus a companion for the final leg of the journey, an aspiring actress named Liberty Callahan who is planning to try her luck in Hollywood. But when the two arrive in Bay Town, California, Archer quickly discovers that the hordes of people who flocked there seeking fame and fortune landed in a false paradise that instead caters to their worst addictions and fears.
Archer’s first stop is a P.I. office where he is hoping to apprentice with a legendary private eye and former FBI agent named Willie Dash. He lands the job, and immediately finds himself in the thick of a potential scandal: a blackmail case involving a wealthy well-connected politician running for mayor that soon spins into something even more sinister. As bodies begin falling, Archer and Dash must infiltrate the world of brothels, gambling dens, drug operations, and long-hidden secrets, descending into the rotten bones of a corrupt town that is selling itself as the promised land - but might actually be the road to perdition, and Archer’s final resting place.

The characters are well developed. The plot is believable. The action is gripping. Who will die next? What lies off the coast? Who are the good guys? It's all here.
Did the story draw me in? I extended my walk about two miles one day to finish the book. I didn't want to wait another day to learn "who dun it."
Another Baldacci Masterpiece

The innuendo between Archer and Liberty was delightful. That most of the women were young, attractive and flirting with Archer distracted a bit.
The mystery was well played and unpredictable for the most part. A few cliches but generally a good time.
I’m looking forward to more of Archer. A bit of a boys out, but a refreshing change.
Even better.

It is after WWII and Archer is traveling across county to Bay City California for a job opportunity as a PI.
