One secret could bring down the government when the President´s memorable affair becomes a nightmare he longs to forget in this page-turner from James Patterson that will keep you up reading all night long.
Sally Grissom is a top Secret Service agent in charge of the Presidential Protection team. She knows that something is amiss when she´s summoned to a private meeting with the President and his Chief of Staff without any witnesses. But she couldn´t have predicted that she´d be forced to take on an investigation surrounding the mysterious disappearance of the First Lady -- with strict orders to keep it a secret.
The First Lady´s absence comes in the wake of the scandalous, public revelation of the president´s affair, so at first it seems as though she is simply cutting off all contact as she recuperates at a horse farm in Virginia. What begins as an innocent respite quickly turns into a twisted case when the White House receives a ransom note along with the First Lady´s finger.
