End game by David Baldacci

"End game" by  David Baldacci - Assassins investigate!

This  book is published by Pan Macmillan UK in 2017 and has 352 pages. This is Book 5 of Will Robie series. 

Blue man has gone missing. Will Robie and Jessica Real are tasked to find him. They reach the town where Blue man went for vacation and then disappeared. It's a strange place. The town has blue man's high school sweetheart, some unsavoury groups like Skin head neo Nazis, Kings apostles, White supremacists etc. Nothing seems to be straight. 

Can Will and Jessica find Blue Man? Would they be supported or opposed by the groups? Is there a possibility of the distance between Will and Jessica to reduce? What is the reason of this distance?

Story starts with separate missions of Will and Jessica, James Bond style. 

Robie, who has been put back together after his body was damaged in previous book, is not able to understand why Jessica has distanced herself. They are assigned a mission and they diligently follow the leads.

Here they meet various characters like Bender siblings, Sheriff Meloy, JC Perry etc. Every lead the get turns into a dead end or turns up dead. Something big is afoot, but what is it? How can anything big be hidden in rural Colorado, where everyone knows everyone and everything?

The book handles two stories. Main story is that of finding Blue Man. But there is an undercurrent of tension between Robie and Real.

The story is decent. Pace is OK. Lout ood bloodshed and deaths. Robie and Real use their real names in the story. Reader knows that someone who had made an innocuous appearance in the book has to be the mastermind. But who is it? When the mastermind is revealed, even after the lame justification, reader is not convinced about the logic of why the mastermind chose this path.

What I didn't like?  Masterminds logic. 

What did I like? Tension between Robie and Real.
