Daniel Palmer, Helpless

An ex-Navy Seal/high school soccer coach is framed for child pornography in a complex conspiracy that leaves him a pariah in small-town Shilo, New Hampshire. Plus, his destroyed reputation puts him on the outs with his daughter, who's newly in his custody and unsure whether she can trust him. This book was very middle-of-the-road for me. I didn't care about the characters very much and wasn't interested enough in the details of the conspiracy to keep track of the plot. In general, too, I couldn't get past the feeling that I was not in the hands of a confident storyteller.
