What this book is about
John Puller's mother vanished when he and his brother were children — the official explanation was that she died. Decades later, Puller discovers that the official explanation was a lie. No Man's Land is the fourth John Puller novel — Baldacci's most personal Puller entry; the military's complicity in concealing what happened makes it the series' angriest.
