The Sixth Man

I've read The Sixth Man by David Baldacci which featured private investigators Sean King and Michelle Maxwell. An alleged serial killer, Edgar Roy, generates a lot of interest from the FBI and Sean and Michelle are helping Edgar's solicitor to clear him. The solicitor is then murdered and then the reader embarks on a wild ride as Sean and Michelle work out who killed him. The body count mounts and the mystery deepens. There is a lot of "security intelligence" involved as Edgar has an eidetic memory and the intelligence to interpret what he sees. The whole story was far-fetched, high body count and Sean and Michelle manage to escape a number of situations which would have seen anyone else added to the body count. Fast paced but improbable, but good twist at the end. 31/2/5
