Split Second

I liked this book written by David Baldacci. Eight years ago Sean King retired from his career as a Secret Service agent in disgrace after losing his protectee, third party candidate Clyde Ritter, to an assassin. Now a lawyer and part-time deputy sheriff in a small Virginia town, Sean learns that the current third party presidential candidate has disappeared - this time under the protection of Secret Service agent Michelle Maxwell. King and Maxwell join forces in a search for answers, and for redemption - a search that leads them into the depths of the government's Witness Protection Program and into the past of Clyde Ritter's dead assassin.

This is the first novel to feature Sean King and Michelle Maxwell.
