King and Maxwell

by David Baldacci

A boy's father dies in Afghanistan — except his father is very much alive, and in danger.

The teenage son of an U.S. MIA in Afghanistan hires Sean King and Michelle Maxwell--former Secret Service agents turned private investigators--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?

What this book is about

The sixth and final Sean King and Michelle Maxwell novel opens with a teenage boy whose father was supposedly killed in action in Afghanistan — and who then appears at his door. King and Maxwell are drawn into a military conspiracy that reaches the highest levels of the government. Baldacci's final installment for his signature duo is a satisfying close, with higher personal stakes than most of the series.
