Cannot put this one down another great read from a master story teller.

Hour Game by David Baldacci was first published in 2004 and was the second book in the King and Maxwell series. This follow up is even better than Split Second and even more gripping. This really is a rollercoaster ride and just when you think you know what is going to happen next there is a lovely twist in the story. Michelle Maxwell is out for a run when two boys run past her in the other direction with fear in their eyes. Maxwell follows the path that the boys had come along and discovers a decomposing body she knows one thing it is dead and been there a while. She calls the local police and then calls Sean King. They have also been given a job by a local lawyer to investigate a burglary from a local property. But bodies keep piling up and the local sheriff feels the need to deputise them both. As the body count goes up the FBI turns up with all the bells and whistles looking to steal any glory. As the investigation continues whoever is the perpetrator is leaving clues for King and Maxwell to find. When a local wealthy man does it looks like the continuing work of their perpetrator, but they know that something is off with this murder. It will take all the skills they have to crack this case and as they get closer, they too become targets. This is a great read with a fantastic pace and the way Baldacci uses language engages the reader as if they are in the middle of this investigation. Drawn in you are just hooked. A fantastic read.
