I usually like Baldacci books and the one’s in this series. However, this storyline was boring and unbelievable. It didn’t keep me spellbound. Sean King is more self righteous, obnoxious and poised as some super sleuth who just pull clues out of thin air. And Michelle Maxwell has way too much masculine energy. She’s always ready to fight even ppl twice her size and comes off rude and inappropriate esp when everyone else and her dad is grieving. Does she have an off bottom? Also, I understand these 2 past experiences but they freely move around in powerful circles as PI. In reality, someone would have made these 2 disappear esp world leaders. I couldn’t follow this story, too many side stories.
