I saw the TV series first and enjoyed it.
Sean King is distracted by something for a split second and then a presidential candidate is dead. He loses his career and his planned future and has to start again.
Michelle Maxwell is leading a detail to protect a presidential candidate when she lets him go into a room without her and he disappears, the similarity between her and Sean's cases cause her to reopen the investigation and King has to deal with his issues about it. Key witnesses start turning up dead or missing so the two of them are on a race to discover the truth. It will change their lives.
It was entertaining to be reading this while both a presidential campaign, where one of the candidates is interpreted as suggesting assassination as a solution and while the Olympics are ongoing (Maxwell is an ex-olympian), and to crown things off when Ireland were involved in rowing (and getting medals!), it made it resonate a bit more. I like the story and I find the characters entertaining and I could hear the actors in my mind as the banter started between King and Maxwell. I'm looking forward to more in this series.

Decided to start another mystery, shooting, thriller series on audio.

Excellent!! Another page turner. I wanted king and maxwell to make smarter self preserving decisions as well as be more cautious given the abductions, deaths and attempts on their lives. They escaped death by luck more than by wit or cleverness. Convoluted story with multiple twists and turns as the mystery finally unfolded over the last two chapters. Overall great book.

It started out so good, and way to relevant feeling for a boom written so long ago, but by the end - I was ready for the many storylines to come together. There definitely is a bit of that macho-man writing style present in the late 90s action novels. I’ll probably read the other Baldacci novel that is sitting on my shelf but won’t be in a rush to pick up any others.

I am not sure how this ended up on my to-read list, but I wish it hadn't.
I knew the writing was going to be shaky from about page one, but I thought I could deal. And initially there was some promise. But the plot was so ridiculous that I just hot really annoyed.

Some of the big "mysteries" in this book were pretty obvious, but overall a fast and enjoyable read.
