I have been disappointed with Baldacci's recent books, so this one was a welcome change, at least until the end. Then it suddenly wrapped up without having a real climactic moment and seemed somehow unfinished.
This book is obviously about the ex-Secret Service agents turned private investigators, Sean King and his partner Michelle Maxwell. In a strange coincidence, they run into a high school boy whose father has gone missing in Afghanistan after a botched mission and has been declared dead by the army. Of course they get involved and end up saving the day. The autistic computer genius, Edgar, from the last book in this series reappears in King and Maxwell and seems like he will become a regular character in the series.
It is an easy read, so probably worth the time, but it isn't his best. If you're looking for a Baldacci book, try The Winner, Absolute Power, Last Man Standing, or The Camel Club first before reading this particular book. It isn't his best.
