Michael:
Former Secret Service Agents Sean King and Michelle Maxwell are hired to help in the defense of accused serial killer Edgar Roy.
On their way to Maine to meet the defense attorney, they find that he has been murdered and wonder how someone got him to pull his car over at this deserted part of the highway.
It seems as if most people belive Roy is a serial killer since he was found with a shovel in his hand and the bodies were buried outside of his barn.
In this well plotted novel, there is a competition between U.S. intelligence gathering agencies. Peter Bunting was looking for a man with rare intelligence rated a six so this man could analyze intelligence info and sell it to the government.
David Baldacci does a good job in keeping the reader in suspense as Sean King and Michelle Maxwell are up against military looking people who aren't afraid of killing people when they are told to do so. How will Sean and Michelle get the information to defend Roy when they seem to be up against the U.S. government itself.
Very entertaining read.
