Publisher's Summary
Split Second is the first in the gripping King and Maxwell series by best-selling author David Baldacci.
When something distracts Secret Agent Sean King for a split second, it costs him his career and presidential candidate Clyde Ritter his life. But what stole his attention? And why was Ritter shot?
Eight years later Michelle Maxwell is on the fast track through the ranks of the Secret Service when her career is stopped short: presidential candidate John Bruno is abducted from a funeral home while under her protection.
The similarity between the two cases drives Michelle to reopen investigations into the Ritter fiasco and join forces with attractive ex-agent King. The pair are determined to get to the bottom of what happened in those critical moments.
Meanwhile, high-ranking members of the legal system and key witnesses from both cases are going missing. King is losing friends, colleagues and clients fast, and his ex-lover, Joan Dillinger, is playing curious games - she wants Sean back, but she also owes him for something....
Split Second is followed by Hour Game, Simple Genius, First Family, The Sixth Man and King and Maxwell.

Another great Baldacci
David Baldacci writes beautifully and I love the way he develops his stories. Pure Brilliance.

It’s ok but not great
I read his later series Amos decker and John puller first and thought these were excellent and on the list for a reread in a couple of years. This is obviously and earlier work and while the dynamics of king and maxwell were really well crafted I just found the twists at the end a little less than the build up. Also what happened to book 2 in the series ... what’s the point of having a series of you are missing book? I’m trying the camel club now and giving this series a miss ... shame

Great story
Great story line, usual Baldacci excellence and well performed. Four separate locations in the recording were very glitchy, repeated lines and up to 30seconds at a time missing. Reminiscent of a sticky CD. A little disappointed but enjoyed the book all the same.

Terrible Narration
Terrible narration! Way too fast and too smug! Not enjoyable at all!
I love David Baldacci books and have just binge read (listened too) 11 in a row. This was terrible! I'm skipping the next 2 in the series to get to the ones narrated by Ron McLarty.
So disappointing... I couldn't finish it

Split Second
Brilliant Author, brilliant Narrator. Being a David Baldacci fan I found this to be his best book ever! The plot went on & on & on.

Narration
Normally an excellent narrator but in the reading of this novel Scott Brick read it as if he needed to go to the toilet in a hurry - far to fast!

Crackling narration at some points
Actually enjoyed this though a few minutes where there was crackling through the narration caused a blip in the story
