DESCRIPTION:
Two disgraced former Secret Service officers team up to solve a series of copy-cat crimes in this exciting new thriller by a master of the game. Abridged. 5 CDs.
Sean King was momentarily distracted when a presidential candidate he'd been guarding was assassinated a few feet from where he stood, and Michelle Maxwell left the Service under a similar cloud when she lost a "protectee" to an ingenious kidnapping scheme, events told in Baldacci's typical terse, fast-paced style in Split Second.

HOUR after hour after hour yawn Amazon Customer I still haven't finished this book. I am forcing myself to continue to the end. I'm about 3/4 there and it's been a struggle all the way. For having the great reputation Mr. Baldacci does as an author, I find this book surprising. Surprisingly simplistic and containing so much beginning writer rhetoric it's making me nuts. Far too many instances of a statement by one character, only to have a different character immediately
