Publisher's summary

Edgar Roy - an alleged serial killer held in a secure, fortress-like Federal Supermax facility-is awaiting trial. He faces almost certain conviction. Sean King and Michelle Maxwell are called in by Roy's attorney, Sean's old friend and mentor Ted Bergin, to help work the case. But their investigation is derailed before it begins-en route to their first meeting with Bergin, Sean and Michelle find him murdered.

It is now up to them to ask the questions no one seems to want answered: Is Roy a killer? Who murdered Bergin? With help from some surprising allies, they continue to pursue the case. But the more they dig into Roy's past, the more they encounter obstacles, half-truths, dead-ends, false friends, and escalating threats from every direction. Their persistence puts them on a collision course with the highest levels of the government and the darkest corners of power. In a terrifying confrontation that will push Sean and Michelle to their limits, the duo may be permanently parted.

Great Listen

My only disappointment was that I discovered I had already read this book. Still it was enjoyable a second time!

Had no idea

Always enjoy Baldacci's books. Like them narrated by both Ron McLarty and Orlagh Cassidy too. Good story in this series. Surprise ending. Had no idea.

Great Story but stop making it a play

Would you consider the audio edition of The Sixth Man to be better than the print version?

Absolutely Not.

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Sixth Man?

Story.

What didn’t you like about Ron McLarty and Orlagh Cassidy ’s performance?

There was no need for the male/female story telling, and the special effects were a nuisance.

Another great Baldacci novel.

The narration is superior, the characters intreging, and I loved the twist at the end.

Another great story

I really enjoy the King and Maxwell books. great characters. The narrator's do a great job. I rather listen to these books than read them.

Never Ending Twists and Turns

David Baldacci delivered again. Just when you think you have figured it out, he spins the plot and the character's roles. I love these series. They always keep me engaged.
