Two Secret Service agents sworn to guard their protectees lost them in a single moment ... and the violence has only just begun in this #1 New York Times bestseller.

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.

I was looking for a new series, and stumbled across the Sean King Series. I was skeptical at first, but was soon enthralled in the very well written plot. It hooked me in for the rest of the series. I hope the rest are as good as this one.

Good Thriller

Baldacci hat sich hier eine viel zu komplizierte Geschichte ausgedacht, um sie hinterher noch schlüssig auflösen zu können. Das Finale ist arg konstruiert und es gelingt Baldacci nur mit viel Mühe, die losen Enden halbwegs zusammen zu bringen.
Insgesamt also ein ambitionierter Thriller, der im Verglichen mit den elaborierten Plots anderer Autoren, allerdings geradezu naiv erscheint.
