Sean King and Michelle Michael were ex-Secret Service agents who turned into private investigators. They both had seen their lives splintering all around them. Michelle was found unconscious on a hospital bed after going through a night of intense suicidal violence. Sean on the other side was forced to take over a thankless investigation. It was a case of a murder of a scientist and the incident happened just inside the razor-wire fence of the CIA near Williamsburg in Virginia.
Very soon, Sean was found discovering the layers of disinformation that protected an extremely stunning world of elite physicists, mathematicians, spies, war heroes, and lethal field agents. Amid that murder, an acoustic and an extraordinary genius girl came with a breakthrough that was within the realm of secret codes. What Sean learned was enough to put his life at risk. He badly needed Michelle in the case and to help in stopping a huge conspiracy of traitors who were operating within the White House itself.
Simple Genius is the third installment of the King and Maxwell series. It is one of the best chapters in the series and for that reason, it is highly recommended.
