An ordinary man who achieves the extraordinary

What I like about this book is its main character: Vince, a former paralegal for the Air Force who ended up doing a tour in Afghanistan, now retired and working as a paralegal at a law firm. After so many books about former special forces operators or Army rangers, it was a pleasant surprise to instead follow someone a bit more… ordinary. Almost unremarkable. Not that Vince isn’t likable, but he’s also far more relatable than, say, Jack Reacher.

Even so, with the help of a few friends, he is able to confront a demon from his past and see justice done for a wronged airman after so many years. Not by kicking down doors and taking names, but by combining his law and research experience with some classic detective work. Again, grounded. Believable. Proof you don’t have to be Jack Ryan to go above and beyond.
