Michelle Maxwell, a former secret service agent, tries to kill herself by picking up a fight in a bar. Her partner, Sean King, is determined to cure her depression so he admitted her into a mental hospital. In order to pay for the bill, Sean takes up an extremely dangerous job. Initially, all he needs to do is to investigate the death of a scientist Monk Turing. When someone attempts to kill him, he realize that the whole thing is a conspiracy and he will do anything to find out the truth.

This is yet another novel about the conspiracy of CIA. Everyone loves to read about conspiracies, incluing me. This is the second David Baldacci book I read and its much better then the first (The Collectors). Better flow of story although the plot is quite old fashion.

I give Simple Genius 7.5 upon 10.
