Split Second by David Baldacci
King & Maxwell #1
544 pages / 11 hrs, 40 mins
"Michelle Maxwell has just wrecked her promising career at the Secret Service. Against her instincts, she let a presidential candidate out of her sight for the briefest moment and the man whose safety was her responsibility vanished into thin air. Sean King knows how the younger agent feels. Eight years earlier, the hard-charging Secret Service agent allowed his attention to be diverted for a split second. And the candidate he was protecting was gunned down before his eyes. Now Michelle and Sean are about to see their destinies converge.
"Drawn into a maze of lies, secrets, and deadly coincidences, the two discredited agents uncover a shocking truth: that the separate acts of violence that shattered their lives were really a long time in the making--and are a long way from over..." --from the publisher
Wow! What a unique story! The intricacies of the characters' connections are a bit fantastical and there are a few too many players to easily keep track of, but it was an interesting read with a few great surprises. Baldacci kept me engaged in the craziness of it all. I'm ready for book 2 in the series.
