Former secret service agents Sean King and Michelle Maxwell, popular heroes of Split Second and Hour Game, face their biggest challenges--personally and professionally--in David Baldacci's riveting thriller.
Dogged by personal demons, Maxwell is recovering in psychiatric hospital after barely surviving a barroom brawl--and King is troubled by his partner's decline. Desperate for distraction, he investigates a murder at a think tank where a group of scientific geniuses are working on a sophisticated technology that could have global implications. But why do so many of the players in this menacing project have ties to the institution where Maxwell is convalescing? Soon, the two partners will reunite in a race against time to expose a plot that could unhinge the world power structures...and destroy their lives.
This is another well written book by David B. He brings back Sean King & Michelle Maxwell with a bit of a romantic twist. This is, of course, a spy novel. However, it has a bit of history and cryptology in for fun. Good reading for a variety of people.
