The Guilty by David Baldacci is the fourth instalment in the bestselling Will Robie thriller series, featuring the government’s most elite assassin. Known for his deadly precision and unshakable discipline, Will Robie has tackled some of the world’s most dangerous missions — until a failed assignment leaves him unable to pull the trigger. Shaken and stripped of his purpose, Robie is forced to confront the one place he swore never to return: his hometown of Cantrell, Mississippi.
When his estranged father, Dan Robie — a respected town judge — is accused of murder, Will finds himself caught in a tangled web of secrets, suspicion, and long-buried resentments. Teaming up with fellow operative Jessica Reel, Robie navigates a community set against his father, battling not only the town’s hostility but also the ghosts of his own past. As he digs deeper, the lines between truth and loyalty blur, and the stakes become personal in ways Robie has never faced before. Baldacci delivers a tightly woven plot packed with small-town intrigue, sharp action sequences, and emotionally charged confrontations.
Perfect for fans of fast-paced thrillers and character-driven mysteries, The Guilty is a high-stakes, emotionally layered novel that proves no one can outrun their past.
