They have allies of which they are unaware, and they start to suspect almost everyone along the way. King and Maxwell are a team to be reckoned with as they look beyond the surface to uncover the truth. As with most Baldacci stories, there are numerous puzzles to solve involving government intrigue, betrayals, and untoward dangers.
From there, they become embroiled with the local and state police along with the FBI given the high profile nature of the case that Bergin was defending. Unfortunately, when King and Maxwell are on their way to meet with Bergin, they find him dead in his car along the side of a deserted road, most likely the victim of a murder himself. King and Maxwell were summoned by Roy’s attorney, Ted Bergin, to help with the case to prove that Roy didn’t kill anyone. Instead of doing this critical work, he was sitting in a federal prison in a remote part of Maine accused of killing six people and burying them in his barn. He could process the information faster and more accurately than the most powerful computer. From the stream, Roy could make connections and provide recommendations on intelligence actions across unlike anything ever done before. He could process the massive amounts of intelligence information streaming across something known as “The Wall.” The Wall streamed every intelligence feed across the globe in a burr of images and text. Roy was able to do something beyond comprehension. He was part of something known as the E-Program, and he was the only E-Six ever discovered after a few E-Fives went down in flames. He was the only person in the country, and probably the world, who could do the job for which he was hired. He was recruited to help the intelligence community in ways that are completely unimaginable. In reality though, his job was far more complex than that.
The man is Edgar Roy who theoretically worked for the IRS.
A brilliant but troubled genius has been accused of mass murder. Sean King and Michelle Maxwell have again taken on more than they expected when they venture up to Maine to help out King’s old mentor on a case. The story in The Sixth Man picks up where First Family left off. David Baldacci’s fifth book in the King & Maxwell series came out in 2011.
