A fast paced thriller, Split Second by David Baldacci is a tale about two secret service agents who share a common thread – their indiscretions while protecting the respective presidential candidates.

Summary Of The Book

In 1996, Sean King was assigned the responsibility of guarding presidential candidate Clyde Ritter. At one point during one of Ritter’s rallies, King’s attention wavers for just a second. This one second proves to be the longest second of his life – Ritter is assassinated in that moment.
Almost a decade later, Michelle Maxwell finds herself in a pretty much similar situation. While on duty guarding presidential candidate John Bruno, she decides against her instincts and allows the candidate to comfort his deceased friend’s grieving widow in private. The candidate vanishes in thin air while Michelle waits outside.

King’s career with the secret services is wrecked following Ritter’s assassination. He reluctantly joins a legal firm and performs leg work for the firm. Maxwell learns of Sean and the uncanny similarities between her and King’s case. Sean also understands what the young agent must be going through. Both of them see their destinies converge as they set out to resurrect their shattered reputations.

The two set out to find who tricked Sean into a momentary lapse of concentration and who set up Bruno into visiting the widow. While in pursuit of the above, they discover that the separate acts that shattered their reputations and careers were in fact well fleshed out plans that were still playing out in their lives.

The plot springs one surprise after another and the gripping story line gives those who join Sean and Michelle on their expedition to uncover the truth much to savour.ISBN - 9780330411721
