The new Baldacci reintroduces the main characters from Split Second and Hour Game - the novel that took Baldacci to another level in paperback in the UK.

This book was like many of David Baldacci very interesting and hard to put away that's why I finished it in one setting. This book was also in very good condition when I received it.

read the book before reviewing it
I don't know if I'm the right person to write a review because I enjoy all of his books immensely. This is another page turner that I read in one day. I've always bought every book of David Baldacci and John Grisham and whereas Grishams' books seem, at least to me, to be going downhill, Baldacci goes uphill. I enjoyed the old characters from former books in this story. The former Secret Service agents who are now private investigators (Sean King and Michelle Maxwell) from the books Split Second and Hour Game are back and how! Human genius can mean power but can also be deadly... A story about a world filled with spies, physicists, mathematicians, a genius girl and classified codes. First the murder of a scientist inside the CIA,s compound and with more murders to follow, Sean's life is at risk and he really needs the help of Michelle. Guess I just have to say that this book, along with all the others are just great! It's a real shame if you don't read it.
