SPLIT SECOND

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.

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...

Quotes

  • “A fast-paced thriller.”

    - Denver Post

  • “A masterful craftsman, Baldacci manipulates his story line with great effectiveness, creating a sense of danger and foreboding and imbuing even secondary characters with enough depth and dimension to rescue them from stereotypes. Conspiracies and mysteries abound in this taut mystery that weaves together action-packed scenarios and solid emotional impact…Split Second will solidify his position at the top.”

    - Barnes & Noble, editorial review

  • “Scott Brick, a star among narrators, captures this smart and sophisticated work. Slight variations in his comfortably flat tone convey each character, with pace and emotion perfectly infused to enhance the mood of the mystery.”

    - AudioFile

  • “Split Second is sustained by the pulse-pounding suspense his fans have come to expect.”

    - Booklist

    " Great fast moving plot with plenty of twists and action. I think this is one of my favourites. In addition, if Scott Brick is the narrator, you will really get the best of the story. "

    " The first book about the Secret Service duo of King and Maxell. Both have been scapegoats for incidents that happened on the job. When Michelle Maxwell starts investigating, she looks up the ex-agent and forces him to re-examine an 8-year-old case. The action and suspense pick up as their two cases begin to entertwine and their lives are suddenly on the line. Hard to put down. "
