One Good Deed

One Good Deed Audiobook

The year is 1949 and Archer who used to be in the army is living his life in prison because of the crimes he committed during the war. The man thinks that he is innocent because he was just doing his duty and nothing else. Anyhow when he gets parole from prison, he thinks that he is going to avail this opportunity in a better way, and getting into a further mess was not in his mind at all.

He was asked that he should not go to bars and hanging out with loose women was on the not to do list. It was alright with Archer because he was going to live a peaceful life and was in the mood to get a peaceful job too.

When he came to Poca City he found out that living a peaceful life in a city is not easy and perhaps fighting at the border line was easier. He tries to get a job but does not get one and then one day he goes to the bar and he finally gets a job from Hank Pittleman who happens to be a rich man in the town. The job was to collect a debt from the people that hank has led his money.

The job was easy and even the listeners don’t expect to see things like in Long Shadows at this stage but Archer’s luck changes once again. The one who has to pay the loan is not in the mood to pay the money and then Hank’s wife is another trouble whom Archer has to keep away. That was enough for Archer and getting in a case linked to murder really brings the hell back to him. David Baldacci always brings the fun quite slowly, the audience has already observed this in Memory Man. The action comes in the later stages so Edoardo Ballerini has also kept the pace of the narration slow till that portion.
