Brent Walker returns home to Concord, a quaint town in central Georgia nestled close to the Savannah River, to work for Southern Republic Pulp and Paper Company as its assistant general counsel, he is drawn into a plan that puts his life on the line.
In the vein of David Baldacci, John Grisham, and Harlan Cobenthis is Steve Berry like youve never read him before.
After a ten-year self-imposed exile, Brent Walker is returning home to Concord, a quaint town in central Georgia nestled close to the Savannah River. Two years ago, his father died, and now Brent, hired by Southern Republic Pulp and Paper Company as its assistant general counsel, is returning to care for his ailing mother.
For decades, Southern Republic has invested heavily in Concord, creating a thriving community where its employees live, work, and retire. But the genteel sheen of this quiet town is deceiving, and when a list of cryptic code surfaces, Brent starts to see the cracks.
Southern Republics success is based largely on a highly unorthodox and deadly system to control costs, known only to the three owners of the company. Now, one of them, Christopher Bozin, has had a change of heart. Brents return to Concord, a move Bozin personally orchestrated, provides his conscience with a chance at redemption. So a plan is set into motion, one that will not only criminally implicate Bozins two partners, but also place Brent Walker square in the crosshairs of men who want him deadwith only one course left available.
