Split Second, by David Baldacci

. RSS

Two Secret Service agents sworn to guard those under their official protection lost them in a single moment. Michelle Maxwell, against her instincts, let a presidential candidate out of her sight for the briefest moment, supposedly alone with a widow in the locked and guarded room with a coffin. Still, the man whose safety was her responsibility vanished into thin air.

Eight years earlier, Secret Service agent Sean King allowed his attention to be diverted for a split second, and the candidate he was protecting was gunned down before his eyes.

Both Agents, Michelle and Sean, see their destinies converge as the latest loss takes place, and both of the discredited agents uncover a shocking truth. Their losses were planned long ago, are connected, and far from over.

Not a surprise is the storyline, plot, and action that holds our interest to the end.
