About this listen

She's trained to kill. He's beaten the best. This time all bets are off. Former Secret Service agents turned private investigators, Sean King and Michelle Maxwell return in their most surprising, personal and dangerous case to date.

Michelle had chased many things in her life. As a track star and later Olympic rower, she had constantly pitted herself against others in races. As a cop in Tennessee she had run down her share of felons fleeing the scenes of their crimes. As a Secret Service agent she had been fleet of foot next to limos carrying important leaders. Tonight, though, she was competing against a long-legged teenager with the boundless energy and fresh knees of youth who had a substantial head start and was running like the devil was on his heels....

King and Maxwell encounter teenager Tyler Wingo when he has just received the tragic news that his soldier father has been killed in Afghanistan. But then Tyler receives an email from his father... after his supposed death. Sean and Michelle are hired to solve the mystery, and their investigation leads to deeper, even more troubling questions. Could Tyler's father really still be alive? Was his mission all that it seemed? Has Tyler's life been a lie, and could he be the next target?

It's clear that King and Maxwell have stumbled upon something even more sinister when those in power seem intent on removing them at any cost. Determined to help and protect Tyler, their search for the truth takes them on a perilous journey which not only puts their lives at risk but arrives at a frightening conclusion.

Excellent yarn

If you could sum up King and Maxwell in three words, what would they be?

Clever, tenacious, determined

What did you like best about this story?

Well written, good plot. Using a teenager as the client was a clever touch. It showed a side of Maxwell she keeps hidden.

Which scene did you most enjoy?

Hard to choose, so many, but if forced it would be when the cabin blows up.

If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

Not recommended for people with heart conditions, excitement might prove deadly

Any additional comments?

In the cold light of day, the story is ridiculous. I lost could of the number of times king and Maxwell were shot, at attacked etc. However this is the sign of a great story teller, when the unbelievable becomes not laughable, but nail biting. I had read / listened to all of Baldacci's books and .never been disappointed. I really like the use of to readers, that really works for me. Another bonus for me is the fact that there is little use of bad language, rare these days.
All in all an first rate book.

Pacy and Entertaining

I found this book a real boon on a number of long car journeys. The presentation is very well done and it is Baldacci at his best. The plot is sound and the way it unfolds leads the listener in. Well worth a listen in my view.
