One of those books both men and women can enjoy. Detailed enough, not overwrought with minutia, a fast paced challenging plot. What more could you ask for a good read?

The book sleeve says: "When is a serial killer not a serial killer? When are the hands on a clock not the hands on a clock? When you play the ... Hour Game."
"A woman is found murdered in the woods with a special watch on her wrist-and what seemed a simple case soon escalates into a nightmare. The criminal methods of some of th emost infamous killers of all time are being replicated by a new predator who stalks and strikes victims with a cunning brilliance. No one can understand the murderer's motives or who the next victim will be."
For those of you who enjoy a complicated serial murder mystery...enjoy!

From the dust jacket leaves:
"A woman is found murdered in the woods with a very special watch on her wrist--and what seemed a simple case soon escalates into a nightmare. The criminal methods of some of the most infamous killers of all time are being replicated by a new predator who stalks and strikes victims with a cunning brilliance. No one can understand the murderer's motives or who the next victim will be.
Drawn into this violent affair are two Secret Service agents turned private investigators, Sean King and Michelle Maxwell. Both have been hired to prove a man's innocence in a domestic burglary involving an aristocratic, if dysfunctional, family. Soon stunning secrets will lead the partners into the middle of a franctic search for a killer unlike any they've confronted before.
As the Hour Game barrels forward, Sean and Michelle face a macabre puzzle and uncover one horrifying revelation after another. Nearing the truth, they will find that their own lives are in danger. And then they're hit with the biggest surprise of all. When you play the Hour Game, you HAVE to play to WIN...but time's running out.
For them all."
This book was SO captivating. I could not put it down, and read the entire thing in one day...

Another good Baldacci book. Sean King and Michelle Maxwell are drawn into a case involving a serial killer who sets the victim's watch to the time of the murder. In tracking down the suspect, they find own lives in danger.

I love reading Baldacci and this book is no exception. I've read every one of his books in 24 hours.
