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.

Sound effects not necessary.

Sound effects are not necessary do not sound good. I listen at higher speeds and the sound effects and various voices just make the book harder to listen to.

Excellent book and reader

Loved the story, the characters and the readers. The southern accent is spot on and the woman sounds tough and smart.

Love this series

Another hit by Baldacci!! I like all of his books but I think the King/Maxwell ones are my favorites. I just hope he doesn't kill one of them off before it is all done. There are lots of close calls!! This was very interesting with the memory/intelligence angle. He makes what I hope truly is just fiction seem believable.

very entertaining and a lot of intrigue.

I like the relationship between Shawn and Michelle. And the Edgar Roy, James Harks Characters were well done. And the surprising end was shocking and in a way inevitable.
