520 _aIn 1996, a third-party presidential candidate is assassinated when Secret Service agent Sean King is distracted; eight years later, another third-party candidate is kidnapped under the nose of agent Michelle Maxwell. Now, the two disgraced agents discover unexpected connections between their cases. Baldacci usually creates strong, believable characters, but here he neglects his protagonists in favor of page-turning suspense. The overlapping mysteries are engrossing, but the author offers too many vague motivations and suspects.
