DescrizioneWatch King & Maxwell, TNT's new series based on David Baldacci's blockbuster novels, on Mondays at 10 p.m. (ET/PT) After the #1 New York Times bestsellers Split Second, Hour Game, Simple Genius, and First Family, Sean King and Michelle Maxwell return in their most shocking case: a high stakes struggle where the relentless needs of national security run up against the absolute limits of the human mind. THE SIXTH MAN Edgar Roy--an alleged serial killer held in a secure, fortress-like Federal Supermax facility-is awaiting trial. He faces almost certain conviction. Sean King and Michelle Maxwell are called in by Roy's attorney, Sean's old friend and mentor Ted Bergin, to help work the case. But their investigation is derailed before it begins--en route to their first meeting with Bergin, Sean and Michelle find him murdered. It is now up to them to ask the questions no one seems to want answered: Is Roy a killer? Who murdered Bergin? With help from some surprising allies, they continue to pursue the case. But the more they dig into Roy's past, the more they encounter obstacles, half-truths, dead-ends, false friends, and escalating threats from every direction. Their persistence puts them on a collision course with the highest levels of the government and the darkest corners of power. In a terrifying confrontation that will push Sean and Michelle to their limits, the duo may be permanently parted.

The story revolves around a character with an eidetic memory, which of course, is just a myth. The story is ... (Goodreads) Do not read this book . . . for it is a silly book. The premise is preposterous and the writing is jejune. I read the whole thing. I stuck with it to the end. Not sure why. (Goodreads) For some reason I found this really difficult to get into. I didn't find the characters that likeable (apart from Edgar Roy) & nothing in the plot gripped me enough to not want to put the book down. The narrative didn't seem to flow well for me & ultimately, I was disappointed L'autore |
