Query: Not usual Baldacci

I'm a big fan of Baldacci's and to say he writes real page-turners is an understatement. He's one of the very best. Great characters, great stories. He obviously does extensive research for his novels. Unfortunately, however, Split Second does not live up to his prior good works. Actually, everything is okay until you near the end when it gets quite improbable and the ending itself is just ridiculously goofy - almost laughable, in fact.
