A number of friends have suggested that I read a David Baldacci book and I have ignored them. I finally gave in and "The Innocent" is my fist Baldacci. This is the first book in a 3 or 4 book series. I enjoyed it tremendously. One thing I liked is most of the technical detail is accurate. He does not call a firearm sound suppressor a "silencer". He knows how lock picks work, at least to point of knowing you need two tools. He has a decent knowledge about firearms. [I hate it when a character flicks the safety off of his Glock, or for that matter a revolver.] This is a good rousing story without those jolting items of ignorance that knock you out of the story that some writers include. An engrossing mystery and a good "shoot-em-up". Definitely, worth reading. I have already ordered # 2, 3, & 4.
