  <default_description>#1 &lt;EM&gt;New York Times &lt;/EM&gt;&lt;EM&gt;bestselling&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;I  &gt;&lt;/I&gt;author David Baldacci follows the instant success of &lt;EM&gt;Divine Justice&lt;/EM&gt; with another unstoppable thriller. &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Sean King and Michelle Maxwell, back from their harrowing and near-fatal adventure in the blockbuster #1 bestseller &lt;I  &gt;Simple Genius&lt;/I&gt;, return in a mesmerizing new thriller. A daring kidnapping turns a children's birthday party at &lt;st1:place w:st=&quot;on&quot;&gt;Camp David&lt;/st1:place&gt; into a national security nightmare, but the hostage is not who anyone would expect. The First Lady enlists the services of King and Maxwell to bring the child back safely. Years ago, King saved her then-senator husband from an assassin's bullet; whether they shared anything else is their secret. With Michelle still recovering from her own demons the pair are pushed to the limit, with forces aligned on all sides against them, and the line between friend and foe impossible to define...or defend.</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[I am a fan of the Sean and Michelle series.  I appreciated the fact that Baldacci used much softer language in this book.  Maybe he is following Clive Cussler's example.  When Cussler first started writing he used &quot;salty&quot; language.  When he discovered young boys were reading his adventures...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/70896019">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This book started slower for me than most Baldacci books. But it became a page turner before I reached 1/3 of the way through. I could recall actual political similarities about the plot from at least five different senator and presidencies during the last 50 years.<br/>Characters Sean King and Mic...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/56208465">more...</a>]]></body>

I will probably have to pick up the other Baldacci books. I enjoy his easy-flowing style.<br/><br/>*****************...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/56805996">more...</a>]]></body>

We learn early who the kidnapper is, but his motivations are not revealed until the final chapters of the book.
