About this eBook

In this #1 New York Times bestselling thriller, when two former Secret Service agents investigate a message from a soldier who was supposedly killed, they're determined to protect his son...even if they pay for it with their lives.

It seems at first like a simple, tragic story. Tyler Wingo, a teenage boy, learns the awful news that his father, a soldier, was killed in action in Afghanistan. Then the extraordinary happens: Tyler receives a communication from his father...after his supposed death.

Tyler hires Sean and Michelle 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?

Sean and Michelle soon realize that they've stumbled on to something bigger and more treacherous than anyone could have imagined. And as their hunt for the truth leads them relentlessly to the highest levels of power and to uncovering the most clandestine of secrets, Sean and Michelle are determined to help and protect Tyler--though they may pay for it with their lives.

Didn't like it as well as the rest of the series, particularly the ending. With such a climatic backstory between the 2 over the course of the books, the ending was rather deflating.

I first came across this pair of detectives on TV; liked them so much looked up the book series. While the TV series was very good the books are so much better and these imperfect people with great skills are so plausible, smart, yet heroic that I hope more about King and Maxwell will be written.

I liked characters immediately but when foul language appears so soon I figure it will get much worse.
