About this audiobook

Two Secret Service agents sworn to guard their protectees lost them in a single moment . . . and in this #1 New York Times bestseller, they're about to learn that the violence has just begun.

Michelle Maxwell has just wrecked her promising career at the Secret Service. Against her instincts, she let a presidential candidate out of her sight for the briefest moment and the man whose safety was her responsibility vanished into thin air.

​Sean King knows how the younger agent feels. Eight years earlier, the hard-charging Secret Service agent allowed his attention to be diverted for a split second. And the candidate he was protecting was gunned down before his eyes. Now Michelle and Sean are about to see their destinies converge.

Drawn into a maze of lies, secrets, and deadly coincidences, the two discredited agents uncover a shocking truth: that the separate acts of violence that shattered their lives were really a long time in the making—and are a long way from over.

Ratings and reviews

Audio all jumbled up! Better buy it on Amazon Audible, that version seems to be fine. The story would probably be great as is usual for David Baldacci, it is just the audio that needs fixing. Google, please fix the audio or refund us the money.

I can't review the story properly since this audiobook is seriously corrupt. Plays the same section repeatedly, skips around - I gave up after a couple chapters. Now how the hell do I request a refund?...

Liked this book story and everything else. But terribly corrupted. every other chapter was repeated. Had to fast forward. Very hard to continue to end. Probably was the app.
