Story
When something distracts Secret Agent Sean King for a split second, it costs him his career and presidential candidate Clyde Ritter his life. But what stole his attention? And why was Ritter shot? Eight years later Michelle Maxwell is on the fast track through the ranks of the Secret Service when her career is stopped short: presidential candidate John Bruno is abducted from a funeral home while under her protection. The similarity between the two cases drives Michelle to reopen investigations into the Ritter fiasco and join forces with attractive ex-agent King.

He knows that nothing will prevent him from discovering what really happened to his mother - even if it means proving that his father is a killer.

Abridged version.
I thoroughly enjoyed the Amos Decker series by David Baldacci. After listening to Split Second, the first book in the King and Maxwell series, I decided that I'd enjoy this series too. Unfortunately, all that was available for Book 2 (Hour Game) was an abridged version. Not wanting to 'lose the thread' of the series, I bought this version. Many business and self-help books would probably benefit from removal of substantial parts of the script; however, that is not the case with this genre.
I'm about to read Book 3 - the full version. If, having listened to this abridged version 'helps' with that listen, then I'll have a real quandary - Book 4 is an abridged version too.

well the headline says it all. good crafted story, plot excellent, and good to see sean and maxwell at the start of their relationship. the narrator sounded oddly english. not unpleasant but unexpected, so it was worth using a credit.

Poor by Baldacci standards
Could not get enthused by this, poor by his normal standards. His later works are far better to listen to.
