The Review of Barnes & Noble
Another suspenseful thriller from the best-selling author of Absolute Power and Last Man Standing is sure to make your pulse race.
Eight years ago, Sean King, a former agent of the Secret Service, mishandled the task of securing a presidential contender. He discovers an unsettling link between the events when he meets Michelle Maxwell, a gorgeous agent whose political charge was just abducted. Together, they find themselves in a race against time to stop an assassin from killing again while on the campaign trail as the deaths start to mount up.
As a skilled storyteller, Baldacci expertly constructs his plot, evoking a feeling of unease and dread while giving even supporting characters enough nuance and complexity to save them from clichés. In this suspenseful thriller that combines intense action sequences with a strong emotional effect, there are many conspiracies and secrets. If Absolute Power propelled Baldacci to the pinnacles of suspense literature, Split Second, an incredibly accessible book, will cement his place there. Piccirilli, Tom
