Publisher's summary

David Baldacci brings back Sean King and Michelle Maxwell - former Secret Service agents turned private investigators, featured in the hit TNT TV series King & Maxwell - in their most surprising, personal, and dangerous case ever....

It seems at first like a simple, tragic story. Tyler Wingo, a teenage boy, learns the awful news that his father, a soldier, was killed in action in Afghanistan. Then the extraordinary happens: Tyler receives a communication from his father...after his supposed death.

Tyler hires Sean and Michelle to solve the mystery surrounding his father. But their investigation quickly leads to deeper, more troubling questions. Could Tyler's father really still be alive? What was his true mission? Could Tyler be the next target?

Sean and Michelle soon realize that they've stumbled on to something bigger and more treacherous than anyone could have imagined. And as their hunt for the truth leads them relentlessly to the highest levels of power and to uncovering the most clandestine of secrets, Sean and Michelle are determined to help and protect Tyler - though they may pay for it with their lives.

(Book 6 of the series)

A bridge between the book and TV Series.

Which scene was your favorite?

The escape from the "Beast". Makes you wonder if the USSS now has a plan if this situation would ever present itself.

Any additional comments?

This is a great book series and makes you wonder what is "reality" and what is "fictional".

A terrific political thriller

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

Baldacci's characters have realistic relationships that make the plot feasible and believable. I always want to move on in the story to find out what happens to them next.

What does Ron McLarty and Orlagh Cassidy bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Their performance intensifies the action and the interplay between characters. The experience is like listening to a play.

Any additional comments?

Baldacci is one of my favorite authors and King And Maxwell is one of the reasons why.

Best mystery; Love the team of K and M

Where does King and Maxwell rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

I love the relationship between the two King and Maxwell. The dialogue and story left me wanting more.

What other book might you compare King and Maxwell to and why?

None. It stands alone as a super mystery adventure story.

What does Ron McLarty and Orlagh Cassidy bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

It was interesting how the sound effects added to the story and were not overwhelming. Very well done.

I hope there's another

Really enjoyed this. Got my attention and I had my earphones with me until I finished. Always enjoy good sarcasm and the chemistry with the duo made the book. I'm looking for Book 2. Would definitely recommend it.

not the best one in the series...

Not the best one in the series, but it was still an entertaining read. I think I like these characters so much, that I was ok with the story just being ok.

I hope there are more on the way

King and Maxwell are two of my favorite characters. McLarty and Cassidy nailed it. I hope Baldacci comes up with more adventures for these two.
