King and Maxwell

by David Baldacci

Book Overview

In this #1 New York Times bestselling thriller, when two former Secret Service agents investigate a message from a soldier who was supposedly killed, they're determined to protect his son...even if they pay for it with their lives.

It seems at first like a simple, tragic story. Tyler Wingo, a teenage boy, learns the awful news that his father, a soldier, was killed in action in Afghanistan. Then the extraordinary happens: Tyler receives a communication from his father...after his supposed death.

Tyler hires Sean and Michelle to solve the mystery surrounding his father. But their investigation quickly leads to deeper, more troubling questions. Could Tyler's father really still be alive? What was his true mission? Could Tyler be the next target?

Sean and Michelle soon realize that they've stumbled on to something bigger and more treacherous than anyone could have imagined. And as their hunt for the truth leads them relentlessly to the highest levels of power and to uncovering the most clandestine of secrets, Sean and Michelle are determined to help and protect Tyler--though they may pay for it with their lives.

Ordered hard copy but got sorry paperback

I paid for a hard copy of the book and received a piece of junk paperback! It won't happen again I'll purchase my books elsewhere

This is the First book in the series.

I have always liked "King and Maxwell" series. I even liked the TV series. This book is very well written, as are all Mr. Baldacci's books. This time, they have a soaking wet teenager in the middle of a field, in an active thunderstorm. He agree's to let them take him home. An Army Chaplain get's out of his car as King pulls in to the driveway. King wonder's aloud why his here? The teenager announce's. "He's here to tell me my Dad is dead!".
