Split Second (Sean King & Michelle Maxwell, #1)

by David Baldacci

“I just turned forty.” “Consider the alternative. It’s not the end of the world.” “Not for a man. Forty and unmarried for a woman, it’s not so pleasant.” “You look great. Great for thirty, great for forty. And you’ve got your career.” “Didn’t think I’d last that long.” “You lasted longer than me.”

“It’s like a balloon. You punch one side, and another bump pops out on another side.”
