Split Second
by David Baldacci
Eight years ago, Sean King’s life, as he knew it, ended when he allowed himself to be distracted while protecting a Presidential candidate. Now Michelle Maxwell is in the same boat. She gave in to the demands of a candidate and let him go into another room, from which he was kidnapped. They never knew each other, but now these two Secret Service agents are linked by a split second’s failure.
It turns out they be linked by more than that. Sean comes across a dead body and Michelle starts investigating on her own. Before you know it, they are working together to try to understand what has happened.
This is a fast-paced, roller coaster of an adventure. Sean and Michelle are both intriguing characters. The book does jump between their POV’s, as well as quick visits to other characters. It is a convoluted conspiracy story so be prepared to reread the solution and say “what?”, but, getting there is a lot of fun.
