The Sean King and Michelle Maxwell series follows two disgraced former Secret Service agents who team up as private investigators. Created by David Baldacci, the duo appeared in six novels between 2003 and 2013. Their shared background in presidential protection gives them skills and connections that prove useful when they take on cases involving political conspiracies and dangerous secrets.

The partnership between King and Maxwell is the series’ strongest element. Sean is methodical and analytical while Michelle is more impulsive and physical, and the contrast between them drives both the investigations and their personal dynamic. The books combine fast-paced thriller plotting with the kind of insider knowledge about Washington, D.C., and government operations that Baldacci is known for.
