Sixth Man by David Baldacci


Mar 26, 2012

Baldacci once again came through with a political thriller that had me guessing to the very end.  Amazon reviews have not been very good on this title but I tend to ignore most reviews. Sean King and Michele Maxwell team up again to help King's lawyer friend, Ted Bergin, defend an alleged serial killer.  And the alleged serial killer is an ex-IRS guy who has an extraordinary gift that the government wants to exploit.  When Sean’s lawyer friend is found murdered, Sean and Michelle feel the need to solve the crime.  In so doing, however, they find themselves contending with a plethora of federal agencies who each want their part of the mystery to remain just that….a mystery.  The Sixth Man is a fast paced, edge of your seat, whodunnit and I loved every page.  Why not give it a try?  Remember, you do not have to finish every book you start.  Here is the formula: 100 minus your age equals the number of pages you should read before giving up.
