King and Maxwell (Abridged)

by David Baldacci Narrated by Ron McLarty, Orlagh Cassidy

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.

Editorial Reviews

DECEMBER 2013 - AudioFile

In this sixth outing for former Secret Service agents King and Maxwell, Orlagh Cassidy narrates all female roles, and and Ron McLarty voices the rest. The dual-narrator approach works well during the snappy dialogue between King and Maxwell but at other times seems superfluous. Maxwell steps in to help grieving teenager Tyler Wingo after his father's death in Afghanistan. When Tyler receives an email from his dad a day later, he hires the duo to find out the truth, but it seems everyone else is out to stop them at any cost. Some sound effects give the action scenes a comic-book quality, but this thriller isn't taking itself too seriously, so they just add to the fun. C.A.T. © AudioFile 2013, Portland, Maine
