This is the start of King and Maxwell and a really good story. After they find a shared spirit of being outcast from the Secret Service, they discover there is much more that they have in common - a common enemy. During pursuit of the case, they discover things about each other and are faced with a new future.
so far i'm likein' it Baldacci has always been a good time, so have high hopes for this one
Secret Service Agents Sean King and Michelle Maxwell watched their careers go up in smoke in a split second. Though their events occurred eight years apart, they become connected by the events that altered their courses. It also seems now that the two events might have their own connection.
I enjoyed the story, especially the pace as there was rarely time to relax before the next challenge was presented. I liked the murky characters and odd directions the story would take, sometimes making it a bit convoluted but always interesting. While I figured out the villain, the motivation wasn't something I could have ever deduced.
Scott Brick's narration set the right tone for King and Maxwell's relationship dynamics. I'll continue listening to the series as I liked the interplay between the two characters. This was a good start to the series.

My first David Baldacci book. And guess what Im gonna read more of him. A plot that will handcuff you and theories that will make you zone out.
Great book: two secret service officers decided to work together to help solve each other’s “problems.” Twists and turns occur throughout the whole book keeping you on your toes! A very entertaining read!
I love all the King and Maxwell books. The two work well together and are able to piece together so many puzzling cases. I could read 100 books with these characters.
“There’s no greater chaos than when swift, violent death knocks on the door of an unsuspecting crowd.”
In my search for new Thriller/Mystery authors Baldacci crossed my path and in a split second I decide that there will be more of him in my reading life.
This one is fast paced with characters that entertain and a plot filled with twist and turns.
I’m intrigued to see where King and Maxwell will go with their new PI endeavour. Adding the next book in the series to my TBR! Also, I’ll be looking into other works of Baldacci.
Just realised there’s a TV adaptation as well… My Baldacci is going to keep me busy

While I was listening to this book I was impressed by the crazy twists and turns in the mystery, and enjoyed participating in the character's analysis of clues. The answer to the puzzle, however, was a bit too far-fetched for me, and didn't seem worthy of the intricate web that had been laid.
Not one of Baldacci's greatest but a good insight into the King & Maxwell characters and how they first started a series. I hope that the remaining books of the same series aren't as weak as this one.
