Split Secondby David Baldacci
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:From #1 bestselling author David Baldacci, here is a thriller that will be surely be judged his most extraordinary — a tale of two disgraced Secret Service agents racing against time to find the common thread that connects a series of assassinations and abductions. It only took a split second.
Secret Service Agent Sean King's attention was distracted just along enough for a gun wielding assassin to kill King's "protectee," third-party presidential candidate Clyde Ritter. Eight years later, after retiring in disgrace from the Service, King balances two careers — as a lawyer and part-time deputy sheriff — in the tiny hamlet of Wrightsburg, Virginia. He's getting by, taking each day at a time, when the news hits: once again, a third-party presidential candidate has been taken out of the game — abducted from right under the nose of Secret Service Agent Michelle Maxwell. Then King finds a body in his law office. Soon after, King and Maxwell form an uneasy alliance. Their search for answers as to why people are being abducted and killed — a quest that becomes a bid for redemption — forces them to lift the veil on the government's Witness Protection Program. Not until the end do they realize the degree to which they've been "played," and that the answers lie in a completely different direction. Review:"Baldacci's new thriller is sustained by the pulse-pounding suspense his fans have come to expect." Booklist Review:"Assembly-line legal thriller: flat characters, lame scene-setting, and short but somehow interminable action: a lifeless concoction."
