About the Books
David Baldacci built the King and Maxwell series around two former Secret Service agents whose careers were derailed by split-second decisions with lasting consequences. Sean King lost a presidential candidate he was guarding; Michelle Maxwell lost a protectee under her watch. Reinvented as private investigators, the pair are drawn into cases that intersect with government secrets, media manipulation, and personal betrayal. Each novel stands as a complete mystery while contributing to the larger story of their evolving partnership and mutual respect. Baldacci keeps investigative details grounded even as plots escalate into kidnapping, murder, and conspiracy at the highest levels of power. The arc moves from the duo's origin in Split Second through increasingly complex cases, culminating in the title novel, King and Maxwell. Readers who enjoy fast-moving thrillers with procedural elements and a will-they-won't-they undercurrent between two capable leads will find this collection immersive, with a cohesive Washington, D.C.-area setting throughout.
