About this listen
Split Second is the first in the gripping King and Maxwell series by best-selling author David Baldacci.
When something distracts Secret Agent Sean King for a split second, it costs him his career and presidential candidate Clyde Ritter his life. But what stole his attention? And why was Ritter shot?
Eight years later Michelle Maxwell is on the fast track through the ranks of the Secret Service when her career is stopped short: presidential candidate John Bruno is abducted from a funeral home while under her protection.
The similarity between the two cases drives Michelle to reopen investigations into the Ritter fiasco and join forces with attractive ex-agent King. The pair are determined to get to the bottom of what happened in those critical moments.
Meanwhile, high-ranking members of the legal system and key witnesses from both cases are going missing. King is losing friends, colleagues and clients fast, and his ex-lover, Joan Dillinger, is playing curious games - she wants Sean back, but she also owes him for something....
Split Second is followed by Hour Game, Simple Genius, First Family, The Sixth Man and King and Maxwell.

A Bit too far fetched
I enjoyed 3/4 of the book. Until the perpetrator started to be revealed.
Thought it was unrealistic that one character could had so many far reaching resources to cause so much death & destruction.

poor performance spoils the story, which is too far fetched to be credible. muddled due to dull oration completely lacks emphasis

very jumpy spoiled the story. Great book though.
just download was fast. the playing of the audio was very jumpy and at times got stuck like a CD would. made it hard to follow in places.
great story and enjoyed it baring the glitches.

Gripping novel and an excellent narration.
I am just about to purchase the next in series. King and Maxwell are an unlikely pairing but they do make an awesome team.

Great read
Always enjoy a Baldacci, particularly the King and Maxwell series. Only problem was glitches in the recording - jumpy at times/repeated sentences. Good story though
