You see, the first family has a closely guarded secret from the past and the kidnapping is just a ploy to get their attention as a wronged father puts his plan for revenge into motion. Later, once the gun smoke has settled and everyone can think straight, the president’s wife hires Sean and Michelle to find Willa, thinking that the two investigators will be easier to control than the FBI. Michelle is almost killed while trying to stop the kidnappers from getting away. When he and his partner, Michelle Maxwell, arrive at the Dutton house one evening, they discover a kidnapping in play as two masked men knock out the husband, Tuck, kill Pam, and kidnap one of their three children, Willa. Now, Jan’s sister-in-law (Pam Dutton) is asking for Sean’s help. In "First Family," Sean is a friend of the president’s wife, Jane Cox, having helped her and her husband out of an embarrassing situation years before, when Dan Cox was a new and upcoming senator. Anyway, Baldacci’s newest hardcover is "First Family," which brings back Sean King and Michelle Maxwell ("Split Second," "Hour Game" and "Simple Genius"), who are ex-Secret Service agents now working as private investigators. I’ve read "Absolute Power" and the "Hour Game" and liked them yet, I seldom pick up a book by him. I’m not a big fan of David Baldacci’s writing.
